Outsidepride Lupine Russell Hybrids Flower Seed

These Russell Hybrids are perennials that thrive in USDA hardiness zones 4 through 8. If you live outside of these zones, they may not survive the winter or return the following year.

To ensure proper airflow and prevent disease, space your seeds or seedlings 18 to 24 inches apart. This spacing allows the tall, upright spikes enough room to reach their full height of up to four feet.

No, these Lupines are considered deer resistant. While no plant is entirely deer-proof, they are generally avoided by deer, making them a safer choice for gardens in areas with high wildlife traffic.

They prefer well-drained soil with a pH between 5.6 and 7.5. Good drainage is critical, as these plants can struggle in heavy, waterlogged clay or soil that stays constantly wet.

It is important to note that Lupine plants are toxic if ingested. You should exercise caution and plant them in areas where pets or small children are unlikely to consume them.

You can typically expect germination within 7 to 14 days after planting. Ensure the soil remains consistently moist during this initial period to support successful sprouting.
