HOW TO GROW:

Transplant: Sow 4-8 weeks before planting out. Cover seed, as darkness aids germination. Harden off and transplant outside in early spring. Roots of lupines are fragile and once restricted will produce inferior plants and flowers. When plants are ready to transplant, do not delay planting. Established plants do not transplant well, so it is best to plant where they will be left undisturbed.
