Outsidepride Mixed Russells Lupine Seeds - 1/4 Lb. Perennial, Self-Sowing, Cold Hardy & Frost Tolerant Wildflower Seeds for Fall Planting, Ideal for Attracting Pollinators & Hummingbirds

100% germinated, but I was out for 2 weeks so the seedlings died. Will try next batch, and as soon as I get adult plants will make additional review

I started these wayyyyy too late in the season for flowers, but my baby plants are really healthy and I have tons of seeds leftover. Leaving a preliminary 5-star review so other customers can have some confirmation that the seeds arrived on time, germinate well, transplant well, and are definitely lupines.I would rate these as pretty darn easy to grow so far, less likely to get leggy seedling problems than plants like sunflowers, and a little more hardy than some other flowering plants (like poppies). Even without blooms, the distinct foliage has been really pretty in my summer garden.I will update with pictures in the future. :)

These seeds were not of Lupinus perennial but of the naturalized polyphyllus. They have 11-17 leaflets not 7-11 leaflets that are of the true species. the leaflets of the Native species has a rounder and shorter shape but these were longer and pointier. I would not recommend u buy seeds from here as they are misnamed. you will not be growing the Lupin that the Karner blue butterfly needs as its host plant. The polyphyllus does nothing for the Karner Blue butterfly. there are more reputable sources for Lupinus perennial.

I was happy with the germination success rate of the seeds. Waiting to see how they continue to develop.

They always have great products.

I was forewarned that lupine are tricky in northern Illinois, so I passed on the pricey plants at Costco and decided to try seeds. Not only is my clay soil probably too heavy for these, but we are experiencing a moderate drought, and they are not getting enough water. So, I have nothing to show for my eff, but the cost was reasonable, and I knew I was taking a chance.The seeds themselves seemed to be in excellent shape. I have every reason to believe they would have grown beautifully in better conditions.

The germination rate on these has been superb! True leaves already up Zone 8

I put about half of my seeds in the fridge in a Ziploc bag on a wet paper towel in mid-January (winter-sowing... I live in zone 6, southern PA). After about 4 weeks, with a few of the seeds showing signs of the coats splitting, I put the baggie on a sunny windowsill, where they suddenly went great gang-busters trying to push out little roots.I've planted those with roots in some potting soil in biodegradable newspaper cups (so I can just plant the cups without disturbing the roots that I've read do not like to be transplanted). After only a day in moist soil, most are already pushing up little leaves!Every day, a few more seeds in the baggie sprout! So far, out of approximately 100-120 seeds (sorry, I didn't actually count), I have about 50-60 little tiny plants that seem happy, so far. I will plant them out when it's warm, but don't really expect them to flower this year, as it can often take 2 years for winter-sown flowers to bloom.Will update after the summer to let you know how they performed.
