Lupine Seeds - Russell Lupine

Perhaps the most commonly known and widely cultivated Lupine species, known for growing tall, lush spikes chock full of vividly colored flowers! Also known commonly as Garden Lupine, Lupinus polyphyllus is an early season perennial that may take a year after planting to offer its stunning blooms, but will reward a gardener's patience with abundant, colorful blooms!

*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.)

  • North American Native Wildflower
