What a lovely narration and so to the point. I'm here in Ireland and our weather is disastrous ,it practically rains on and off most days so it's nigh to impossible to get a sunny day. This year has been exceptionally bad and my lupins are struggling ,I've just noticed some mildew spots and may have to dig up my plants😢. Your video was a boost for the heart. .Cheers from Ireland. 😊 Patrick Spillane
Also consider getting lupin species specificaly native to your area! These will often be much better suited to your specific climate (desert vs Pacific Northwest, etc.) as there are different species of lupin across the whole of North America. Plus these locally native lupins are often host plants for beneficial specialist pollinators and butterflies which is a win/win!
Thank you for this! I just planted seed in a couple different places around my yard and can’t wait to see the flowers. Very informative video and beautiful with the hostas! I mixed mine with hosta propagations.
great, informative video about this beautiful plant for us gardeners. My daughter brought me a beautiful, large lupine yesterday. Dont ask me why I have never had any. I have a lot of property an I need things that fill in large areas and I have visions for this beauty! Thank you and happy growing!
I battled deer with my lilies. I was given a fantastic recipe for natural deer repellent that works. 1 egg -beaten 2 teaspoon baking powder Put n 1 litre spray bottle. I strain it to get rid of any egg parts, so not to clog spray bottle. Shake and spray on foliage once a week and after rain.
That's very similar to the liquid fence recipe I think, except the Liquid Fence has mint or herb oil in it too... From what I've read, that sulfur smell from rotten eggs is what keeps the deer away because it smells like a predator to them
Lupine ae biennial. You sow seeds this year for flowers next year. I've just sown my seeds for next year. Should have done in Jul/Aug but I live in a cold climate and overwinter the seedlings indoors.
Ours tend to bloom then go to seed although some say if you cut the seeds off they will rebloom. They seem to like our climate here in NY but I'm not sure how they would do somewhere hotter in the summer
Poisonous to deer?! Someone needs to tell the deer in my area! They completely ate the blooms & even one of the plants nearly completely before I started spraying deer repellent. Thankfully the plants are recovering & even showing reblooms, although smaller than the original flush.
That's strange... Are you sure it's deer? Our were eaten for the first time this summer but it was a woodchuck. They totally demolished the poor plants!
@captiveroots3037 One thing I learned after working at a garden center once is that even though a plant is supposed to be 'deer resistant' doesn't mean mean that deer won't eventually chomp on it should it's preferred plant sources gets limited.
@@captiveroots3037 They are truly amazing to look at. I am very wary as soon as the word invasive is said. We have a huge problem with Chinese Privet at our house. Would love to have some though. Maybe in a container.
@@Beltloop29 From what I've found, they will spread and take over a garden bed, but as far as moving outside of that it doesn't seem to be an issue. They are also easy to identify and pull as weeds early in the season before they go to seed, if they start to become an issue. I would plant a few potted ones from a nursery in the ground and see how they do! Keep in mind that we wanted these to spread, but you could cut the flowers off once the seeds develop to stop them from spreading.

We have them popping up all over the place now... They're really easy to grow once they get established!

They're such a great flower to grow! They grow like a weed and spread like crazy too, so they're great for filling in an area.

1 egg -beaten
2 teaspoon baking powder
Put n 1 litre spray bottle.

Ami not reading this properly? Do you add a liter of water?
@puccipalace sorry, yes after putting in the bottle, I fill the bottle to about an inch or 2 from the top. So you can shake before spraying
Does the foliage die with hot weather ? Because I love their green foliage. Even without the flowers
The foliage seems to stay right through the season. They really are a cool plant!
Ok, so I planted from seed, this is the second year, they have great leaves, pretty healthy looking, so should I expect flowers next year?
Probably next year, as these tend to take a year to grow before flowering the next year
Lupine ae biennial. You sow seeds this year for flowers next year. I've just sown my seeds for next year. Should have done in Jul/Aug but I live in a cold climate and overwinter the seedlings indoors.
So they only bloom once a season? and how does heat and humidity affect them?
Ours tend to bloom then go to seed although some say if you cut the seeds off they will rebloom. They seem to like our climate here in NY but I'm not sure how they would do somewhere hotter in the summer
I was wondering if they re-bloomed after you did a cutting.
Not til the next season... These seem to flower once per summer, at least for us
That’s good to know we just are about ready to plant our seeds here in Michigan.
Must be a shady spot with that hosts there. Does it ever get full sun?
Not for long each day, maybe a couple of hours. There is a large maple that shades that area

@@captiveroots3037 Tracks proved it & there is a mother with 2 fawn that we see frequently across the road.

That's certainly true... We've experienced that ourselves in the part of the yard they can still access.
They are beautiful. Google says they are native here in my state.
They are so cool once they get established. They grow like weeds!

@@captiveroots3037 Excellent idea. Then I could get credit from Tammy for getting her flowers. Hmmmm
@@Beltloop29same 😢
I planted some last year, I don’t think they are coming back this year.
That's a bummer, but sometimes it takes a while to see them. You might still get some seedlings. They look nondescript at first.
@@captiveroots3037thank you so much for replying. I’ll keep an eye out.
I grew Lupins once didn't have that much luck with them they didn't grow like this.
Honestly we've tried them in a bunch of places in the yard and they grew much better in this location for whatever reason
@@captiveroots3037 weird.
@@captiveroots3037 is it a sunny spot,
what zone are you in?
Zone 5 about an hour south of Buffalo NY
