Eden Brothers Loopy Lupine Flower Seed Mix

Yes. Because lupine seeds have a hard outer coating, you should scarify them—gently nicking the seed coat—and soak them in water before planting to significantly improve your germination rates.

This mix is 70% annual and 30% perennial. You will get a vibrant display in the first year from the annuals, while the perennial portion will establish roots to return and bloom in subsequent seasons.

Lupines are naturally resistant to deer and rabbits, making them a great choice if you have issues with local wildlife browsing your flower beds. While no plant is 100% pest-proof, they are rarely targeted by these animals.

This mix is versatile and suitable for USDA hardiness zones 3 through 10. They thrive in full sun and are adaptable to a wide range of North American climates.

You can expect these lupines to reach heights of 25 inches or more. Given their stature, they work best in the middle or back of a flower border where they can stand tall without blocking smaller plants.

You can plant these seeds in either the fall or the spring. Planting depth should be approximately 0.5 inches to ensure they have the right amount of soil coverage to germinate successfully.
