thats great to hear. I always get a kick out of things growing whether from seed or any other form of propagation even after all the years that I have been doing it
Your able to dig up the plant and move. Dig well around the plant and lift it out. Take that "bulb" and lay on a flat surface and hose it down as your are separating it. Place the separations in soil immediately and water well. If you are gentle when separating. Most of the plant will live. I did it without knowing about people saying you couldn't. I was nearly 100% successful.
my lupins bloom from seed in there first year! alway have done! seaweed and and high potash once a week and they'll be very happy, mines are taking over but in a spot that's ok to do so I just love lupinus
you take 3in cuttings from new growth in spring and root them in gritty compost in a greenhouse. delphinium and dahlias can be propagated in the same way.they need to be kept humid to prevent them from wilting but watch for botrytis(rotting)
So they like acidic soils splash a little urine on them if there acid loving plants make sure the urine is a little watered down,much like Azeleas,Camilias and Rhododendrens.

very good. Could i just point out that you can propagate lupins from cuttings too and they will flower in the first year from a january sowing
I have never been successfull propagating from cutting although I have heard of it being done. How do you do it.
Very informative and beautiful. Thank you!
I started mine in a bag and plan on planting them soon. They are still just seedlings.
Please do an update?
Thank you very helpful. I just put some seed straight in the ground and two plants came up. I live in zone 5a.

I stuck 18 cuttings as you suggested 2009.05 and all 18 survived. Tnx for the heads up.
Do you recommend lupines in Zone 5a?
Thanks for the help. Mine germinated this week.

Look at those bicolors, I'm jealous.

Possible to grow from cuttings ?
see: th-cam.com/video/1zHwIzqH7no/w-d-xo.html
@Swammich Cannot be dug and transplanted. In pots they have no tap root and can be planted. This I do not consider to be "transplanting".
Should be OK they grow wild in several southern states. I'm zone 3-4 here in the Catskills
I am going to add to this video instructions on how to propagate Lupins from cuttings.
TNX for the info
that's bullshit you can dig the plants up and divide the roots
