Seeds - Lupine Packet of 50
These hand-harvested Lupine (lupinus polyphyllis) seeds are from lupine plants that were already growing at Perseverance Farm when I bought it in 2021. The majority are purple, but pink and white are also present occasionally.
After doing research, I’ve come to understand that this may not be the native Lupine (lupinus perennis), identified by having 7-11 leaflets. It’s likely lupinus polyphyllis, which have 11-17 leaflets.
Whether they’re native may or may not matter to you, but in case it does matter, I want you to know. They can be aggressive self-seeders, so they are not ideal for scattering in a large meadow, since they may take over and create a monoculture. If you wish to plant and enjoy them, simply plant in an area where you can contain the spread by harvesting the spent blooms before they go to seed.
Why would I sell them if they’re not native? A reasonable question! I am aiming for 70% plants at my farm. I am neither a purist nor an enforcer. I believe the best customer is an educated customer, and I trust you to decide if these are right for you. What I can tell you is, they have been grown without pesticides or chemicals, and they have been harvested by me.
To plant, first soak in water for 24-48 hours, and then scatter or plant the seeds at a 1/4” depth in late fall. They like full sun, and well draining soil. They do not transplant well.
I am using the proceeds to order native lupinus perennis seeds!
