Description
Every year I keep forgetting to take a self- explanatory picture of this stunning lupine but at least a collected seeds this year.
The upright, dense spikes with many pea-like pink flowers are a showy apparition in early summer and last for a long time.
There is only the pink form in the garden and all the self- sown seedlings flowered pink (you will want more after having one). It is said that they may revert to the blue color of wild L. polyphyllus, but it never happened yet.
Germination: the easiest way is to sow the seeds outdoors in late fall and wait for the seedlings to appear in the spring. They can be moved in the desired place when young. It behaves as short lived perennial so it is a good idea to always allow a few self sown seedlings.
If not, nicking the seeds and soaking for a couple of days followed by sowing at room temp. should work well.
