Lupinus perennis subsp. perennis
WILD BLUE LUPIN, SUNDIAL LUPIN
SKU: 1039-010
Lupinus perennis (also wild perennial lupine, wild lupine, sundial lupine, blue lupine, Indian beet, or old maid's bonnets) is widespread in the eastern part of the USA (from Texas and Florida to Maine) and Minnesota, Canada (southern Ontario, Newfoundland and Labrador), and on the coasts of the Arctic Ocean, where it grows in sandy areas such as dunes and savannas. The long flowers can be white, blue, purple, or pink, but are most often blue or bluish purple.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 3-8
Height: 18-24"
Germination: Soak the seeds for 6-12 hours before planting. We suggest surface sowing the seeds, and then covering them with a 1/4" thick layer of perlite to the surface to prevent -dampening off, which is a term used for rotting. Another option is to use a soluble fungicide to prevent damping off. Temperature (20-22 C, 68-72 F). Seeds germinate in 14-60 days.
