$16.00
Lupine, Made Easy to Grow.
Silvery Lupine is a western perennial with blue-violet flower spikes that feed native bees while helping improve low-nutrient soil. Its hard seed coat and natural dormancy can cause slow or uneven germination. Each seed is scarified, inoculated with beneficial Rhizobium bacteria, GermiSync™ coated, and formed into a visible pellet for easier planting and reliable establishment.
Covers 30 sq. ft
Silvery Lupine (Lupinus argenteus) is native across the Rocky Mountains and Intermountain West, covering sagebrush flats, mountain meadows, and open slopes from the Pacific Northwest to the southern Rockies and out onto the northern Great Plains.
Native states: AZ, CA, CO, ID, MT, ND, NE, NM, NV, OK, OR, SD, UT, WA, WY
Best suited for: Full sun to part shade, well-drained to dry soil, low to moderate moisture. Nitrogen-fixing — improves soil over time. Drought tolerant once established; best at elevations 3,000–10,000
RAKE
Clear away weeds and debris, then loosen the top inch of soil. Good prep helps the seeds make proper contact with the soil.
SHAKE
Shake pellets evenly across your area (~1 inch apart). Each pellet contains one seed, so spacing stays consistent and planting stays controlled.
PAT
Rake or pat seeds snug into the soil. This keeps them in place and ensures strong seed-to-soil contact.
WATER
Water once or twice daily. The soil should look dark, like a damp sponge for the first 2-3 weeks to to kickstart germination.
