Lupin Regalis Band of Nobles Mixed
By Susan Pond 10-05-2012
Noble in name and noble in nature. These lupins have been standing proud in my border and drawing admiration since 2008. A wonderful mix of colours - and they seem to come stronger every year! Tip: dry bracken around the new growth in spring seems to keep slugs and snails at bay.

Sowing Instructions

Soak seed overnight before sowing. Germinate at 20-30C (68-86F) on the surface of a good free-draining, damp seed compost. Apply a layer of compost or vermiculite, 3mm (1/8in) deep. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag until after germination which usually takes 18-21 days.

Growing Instructions

Transplant when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots and place in cooler conditions. After all risk of frost, plant out 30cm (12in) apart.

Caution

Harmful if eaten
