Russell Lupine Seeds - The Governor

This award winning member of the "Band of Royals" series of Russell Lupine, The Governor will tower over your garden, reaching up to 4 feet tall with abundant spires of blue and white bi-colored blooms. Flowers open from the bottom, extending the bloom season of this beauty all summer long.

*Seed scarification advised for lupine seeds (Nicking or scaring seeds with hard seed coatings before planting helps the seeds absorb water. After scarification, soak seeds in water overnight before planting. This will jump-start germination and get your garden growing faster.)
