Chandelier Lupine Seed

Product ID:4915.114915

New! Hardy, long-lived, and easy to maintain perennial.

Part of the Russell Hybrids 'Band of Nobles' Series. Chandelier has sweetly scented, soft, buttery yellow blooms. Plants produce multiple blooms with stiff, straight stems. In our trials, these first-year flowering plants bloomed in early July in the first year and about a month earlier (early June) from well-established plants in the second season of growing. Bloom quality and productivity were better in the second season, although all plants did produce flowers in the first season. Performs best where summers are cool. Attracts and provides a food source for bees and hummingbirds. 1–2' blooms/spikes are densely covered with ½" pea-like flowers. Lupine is typically resistant to deer and rabbits. Perennial in Zones 4–8.

  • Packet: 100 seeds
  • Avg. 1,200 seeds/oz

DAYS TO GERMINATION:

14-21 days at 65-75°F (18-24°C). To promote germination, soak seeds overnight or scarify seeds.

SOWING:

Transplant - Sow 4-8 weeks before planting out. Seedlings can tolerate a light frost. Deep cell trays like 50-cell Deep or a 32-cell will support healthy seedling and taproot development. Shallower cell trays like a 50-cell or 72-cell may also be used so long as transplanting is not delayed. Lupine seedlings and roots need space to grow and expand and once restricted will produce inferior plants and flowers. Thin to one plant per cell/container when first true leaves appear. Harden off and transplant out. Direct seed - Cover seeds with 1/4" soil or growing media as darkness aids gemination.
