Sowing
Sow once the soil is warmer than 10 °C, in a sunny spot sheltered from the wind. Sow about three times as deep as the seed is thick, into finely raked soil with no clods on top. Spacing is as printed on the packet — thin the seedlings out after they come up. Water with a fine spray so the seed is not washed away, and keep only the strongest plants.

When to sow Lupinus Mixed
Lupinus Mixed seeds are sown in April and May. The plants flower from July to October. The months are a guide for a temperate climate — in warmer areas sow 1–2 weeks earlier, in cooler or upland areas, later.
How to sow and grow Lupinus Mixed
- Sowing method: direct or seedlings
- Depth: 1–2 cm
- Spacing: 40–50 cm
- Germination: 10–20 days at 15–20 °C
- Position: sunny spot
Lupin has a long flowering period from July to October. Sow in spring at a depth of about 1 cm. Scarifying seeds with a hard coat before sowing helps them absorb water. After scarification, soak the seeds in water overnight before sowing.
Soak the seeds for 24 hours or nick the seed coat. Lupin dislikes transplanting — sow in individual pots. Prefers acid to neutral soil.
Flowering and uses
Cut off spent flower spikes for repeat flowering. The seeds are poisonous.
