Not one greenfly in site, almost feel not real to me as I am swamped with them and I refuse to use any chemicals, I'd love some advice, I love lupins 🌱

So very beautiful, i bought a tiny lupine at my little country flower shed, the girl that sets her little tent every spring around may 1st. I didnt know anything about the lupine. Its growing but still tiny. Im hoping it makes it through the winter and grows and blooms next year and hoping it starts spreading. Thank you for sharing this with us ❤

Not sure where you live, but lupins are frost hardy and should get through winter as long as the plant is established. Martin

Very beautiful Lupines. I have Lupine seeds. How do I plant them?

[@connieedwards8321]

I forgot to mention the seeds are packaged.

I’d love to see a video of how to divide lupins, I’m worried I’ll kill them off if I try!

[@PotsTrowels]

Will do one in spring at the correct time. Martin

Welcome aboard, thanks for joining us - we'll try to answer the questions on our podcast (episodes every Sunday) -Sean

[@geriscott6379]

Is it just this variety that will rebloom, or will the Russell lupine rebloom?

[@PotsTrowels]

If you deadhead all will rebloom

[@TDace25]

Just planted three yesterday. Do the leafs tend to wilt easily?

[@PotsTrowels]

They shouldn’t do. Make sure it’s watered well until established. Martin

[@TDace25]

@@PotsTrowels thank you

[@briandouglas2123]

Is it okay to put the cut-offs in the compost? I'm guessing that the seeds are not developed enough to be an invasion problem.

[@PotsTrowels]

Hi, as long as they're chopped up it's fine to compost them! Hope that helps! - thanks for watching -Sean

[@thomasdavidbassett483]

What time of year did you do this.

[@PotsTrowels]

Hi, this was middle to the end of June in the UK, so early Summer - hope that helps! -Sean

​@PotsTrowels my first time growing lupins and your video has helped me understand my two plants more. I have deep pink and a white they are gorgeous. But swamped with green fly any advice please. I'm now subscribed to your channel. Thanks
