Lupinus rivularis
NATIVE RIVERBANK LUPIN
SKU: 1842-5
Description
Native to western Canada and USA, this sweet-scented blue lupine thrives on sandy or gravelly banks near water. Can be grown in a moist sunny area in your garden, and also can naturalize well in grassy areas or moist meadows.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 6-10
Height: 24", 60cm
Location: Sun
Seeds per pack: 5
Note: Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
Germination: Start these seeds indoors right away for best germination rates. 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.
