Planting Instructions:

1. Seed Preparation:

   • Scarify seeds by gently nicking the seed coat with a file or soaking them in warm water for 12-24 hours before planting to improve germination.

2. Sowing:

   • Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date. Use a seed-starting mix and plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep.

   • Space seeds at least 2-3 inches apart in seed trays or pots to ensure adequate airflow and room for growth.

3. Germination:

   • Seeds typically germinate within 14-21 days under optimal conditions.

   • Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) for optimal germination.

4. Transplanting:

   • After the last frost date, transplant seedlings outdoors when the soil has warmed.

   • Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over the course of a week.

   • Space seedlings 12-18 inches apart in well-prepared garden beds.

Care and Maintenance:

• Watering: Water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells.

• Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

• Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and to prevent self-seeding.

• Pest Control: Monitor for pests like aphids and slugs. Use appropriate organic methods to manage infestations.

• Disease Prevention: Lupines are generally disease-resistant, but ensure good air circulation to prevent issues like powdery mildew and root rot.
