Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
Scarify the seeds by gently nicking them with a knife or rubbing them with sandpaper to break the hard outer coating. Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours to improve germination rates.
Sowing:
Sow seeds 1/8 inch deep directly in the garden or in seed-starting trays filled with a well-draining seed-starting mix. Sow seeds in early spring or fall for best results.
Germination:
Germination typically takes 2-3 weeks. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Ensure seeds are exposed to full sun or partial shade during the germination period.
Transplanting:
If starting seeds indoors, transplant seedlings to the garden when they are 4-6 inches tall and after the danger of frost has passed. Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for mature growth. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil.
Care and Maintenance:
Water regularly, especially during dry periods, but avoid overwatering as Lupinus Nootkatensis prefers well-drained soil. Mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding if desired. Cut back plants in late fall after they have finished blooming or leave seed heads for winter interest and wildlife.
