If you are looking to add some serious "wow" factor to your garden, Lupins are it! These beauties are one of the very first flowers to pop on our farm, bringing those tall, bold spikes of color we all crave after winter. They come in a gorgeous mix of blues, violets, and deep purples that look just as good in a cottage garden as they do in a fresh bouquet. Lupin is easy to grow, great for the bees, and perfect for adding some height to your flower beds.

How to sow:
Prepare seeds first by scarifying (nick or soak) to help them sprout. Sow seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost. However, these seeds can be planted directly into the soil. Deadhead faded blooms to keep the flowers coming! Pinching is not necessary.
Care:
Harvest stems when the bottom florets are just opening. Buds will continue to open in the vase. Expect a vase life of 7 days.
