Perennial Lupine Seeds

Comments about American Meadows Perennial Lupine Seeds:

Located in Northeast Massachusetts. Had a few lupines from years ago from a wild flower mixture from [@], of all places, and the few lupines that took hold would seed a few new plants each year. Last year apparently a lot of seeds took hold and I suddenly had a ton of them; I decided the whole septic field would look good in lupines. Bought 1lb. Planted mid-late spring with the ground damp and cold from recent snow melt. Not a single one of them grew. Not one. Out of 26,000. I am a novice. Pre-novice would be more descriptive.

I used this product to make a large rocky are of my yard look nicer. It was impossible to mow because of rocks and slope. I also put some along the highway in front of my house.

We used the seeds in hotel guest bag for a wedding held in June at the Mountain View Grand. The lupine are in season then and it was a perfect reminder of the weekend for guests. Hopefully, lots of them will get planted!

Comments about American Meadows Perennial Lupine Seeds:

While Lupine are sometimes hard to get started, the native variety of blue lupine such as these do well if the soil is not too rich and they get water and sun. We have them now established in masses along our stream, and they self seed and spread further each season. Great for naturalized meadow gardens and in beds for June flowers.

Toss and forget...beautiful blooms year after year! Ordering
more Lupine seeds this year. Decided most showy for least amount of work!

I planted these seeds directly in my garden in several different areas in the spring of '09. It is now almost summer '11 and ONE flower has bloomed out of the pound of seeds I bought. The foliage is doing great, and I thinned them out as directed. I am really hoping I get better blooms next year.

I live in Zone 7 (Texas) where it is very dry. I just installed a drip irrigation system, so that may also be responsible for the success I have had with the perennial Lupine seeds. I soaked the seeds in a glass of water for 24-48 hours and then just scattered them on the ground in my flowerbed in April. Then I walked over the seeds to press them into the ground. With the drip irrigation system watering each night (I have an entirely new flowerbed), the lupine seeds began sprouting almost immediately. One month later and the plants are about 4 inches high.The germination rate was great. I think every single seed (or almost every one) sprouted, even the ones stuck to my shoe and transferred to other parts of the garden. I can't wait to see them bloom next year.

Seeds seem to be slow starting, I am hoping that the plants will be bigger next year, and bloom! Had to transplant from seed trays, direct sow in best.

The product is lovely, easy to plant. Does not like to be transplanted, so put in a place you want it to remain. Natural food for Karner Blue butterfly, happy to have it over hybridized varieties.

These have done extremely well in my wildflower field. They bloom beautifully and are faithfully spreading every year from the first 1/2 lb. I spread.

Comments about American Meadows Perennial Lupine Seeds:

I've been dying to plant these on my hillside but every time I try it with small plants they die. If these are anything like California Poppies you can't transplant them with any success and have to grow from seed. Generous quantity of seed in the 1/4lb packet should cover more than I need, thank you!

Used the lupines where the power company cut trees for new power line. Tilled area & sowed seeds. From there it was watch them grow and multiply year after year. Bought another lb. this year to make it thicker. Love the sight of them & trying to enhance the habitat for the Karner Blue butterfly.

Comments about American Meadows Perennial Lupine Seeds:

The wild lupine seed had excellent germination without soaking. I planted this in a wild flower garden with coreopsis, shasta daisy and rudbeckia. I even threw some additional seeds mid-winter (zone 5b) and they are growing fine. I highly recommend this product for the garden.

Service and delivery comments:

Excellent customer service, absolutely tops. Most plants were well packed and in fine condition. The few plants which arrived in un-viable condition were replaced or refunded with no hassle.

Lupine seeds require only tossing out over tilled soil. They have great foliage and wonderful flowers. The American Meadows seeds are a staple for my garden- great germination, yielding masses of colorful lupines year after year.
