I haven't put my lupins in any pots they took two years to come through but they have they gave me a lot of joy to see them I thought that blown in from somewhere 🤔😸 how shall I treat them any differently this is my first year anyhow I would be seriously grateful for for, as I think they look beautiful 🥰✅👑
I bought wildflower seeds last summer and only one lupin plant grew back. The base of the plant look like a big root and leaves grow back after dead heading in the fall. NO special treatment needed
Such a helpful video - thank you! Just to confirm - in all cases, would you recommend using sandpaper and soaking prior to setting them in the growth medium or paper towel?
Thank you for watching! Yes, breaking the shell of the seed with sandpaper is the best way of ensuring germination, so we'd suggest doing that whether you are setting them straight into the growth medium or paper towel. Hope this helps!
Thank you very much it’s very informative and helpful. If I wanted to straight sow it in my garden bedding would I follow the same steps? Would it still germinate and grow outdoors in the cold?
I sowed lupin seed right in the veggie patch which i dug the lupin into they grew good,,,, youd have to google their cold tolerance according to your location in the globe
Hi, sorry this comment must have been missed! Hope you've managed to grow them on okay. Lupins prefer a sunny position once they've germinated and established.
@@enviiuk hi yes they look ok but some of the leaves have turned yellow. Not sure if it’s to do with watering or the fluctuation of temperatures in the greenhouse?
from my experience this does not work with silvery lupines, a native wildflower, they end up root rotting once they have there leaves, and no im not over watering.
Ive just bought a few varieties of lupin seeds chuffed i found your vid.i will follow it to a tee.thankyou
Had no idea about the thick skins on the seeds; this must be why I have failed in the past with growing these!
Perfect timing. Just harvested seeds from my dad's new lupin. Thanks for the clear instructions!
Excellent instructions! Thank you so much for taking the time to film this. Off to buy a packet of seeds to try your paper towel technique!
You are welcome, good luck!

Nice to know the different methods. Thanks!!
Thank you! Fascinating.
Awesome video. Thank you so much.
Thank you very much, David! Nice video! I'll try the methods soon. Greetings from Mexico City!
Thank you so much for sharing this!
No problem, thanks for watching!

Thanks! Will try the 2nd method.
i tried it today and kept it above my fridge
You are using perlite not Vermiculite.
Either way both does the same thing

@@enviiuk It does help - thanks for your reply! I appreciate it!

@@raewyncormack2461Did you still have to break open/cut the outer seed when direct sowing outside?
I have lupine seeds, but they don't look like yours.
Which I have to be bigger why? If I plant what I have will bloom too or is it different
Once they’ve germinated do they need to be put in a sunny position or somewhere cooler? Thanks!

vermiculite or perlite ?
Perlite
Why peet free?
Environmentally bad. Comes from peat bogs which are a declining, ancient habitat
It’s perlite not vermiculite ❤😂😂
