Planting Instructions:

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 enhance germination.

Sowing:

Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date. Use a seed-starting mix and plant seeds 1/4 inch deep.
Maintain a soil temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) for optimal germination.
Space seeds at least 2-3 inches apart in seed trays or pots.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 14-21 days under optimal conditions.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.

Transplanting:

Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date when the soil has warmed.
Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week.
Plant seedlings 12-18 inches apart in well-prepared garden beds.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods.
Mulch around the base of the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and to prevent self-seeding.
Monitor for pests such as aphids and slugs, and manage them using appropriate organic methods if necessary.
Lupines are generally resistant to diseases but ensure good air circulation to prevent powdery mildew and root rot.
