Growing Tips for New Zealand

Sow lupin seeds in autumn or early spring for flowers in the first or second season. Lupins prefer a cool start — sow direct into well-drained, slightly acidic soil in a sunny position, or start in trays and transplant when small. Scarify or soak seeds overnight before sowing to improve germination. They dislike being moved once established, so choose your spot carefully. Deadhead spent spikes to encourage a second flush of flowers. Lupins are a perennial in cooler NZ regions and will return reliably each spring.
