LUPINS

Hi all, I'm fairly new to gardening but am slowly learning all I can. I bought some Lupins last Saturday, I waited till all the bad weather was over with then repotted it. I have numerous flowers and all looks well but since this morning all the leaves have begun to shrivel up, no insects that I can see or yellowing leaves. Is it just replanting shock or is it something else?

    Hello

    I don't have a definite answer to your question but I do think I recall once reading that Lupins don't transplant well. I know I lost some years ago after trying to move them. If you bought them very recently they may have been in the pot a while and gotten quite used to it. If you've been watering them plenty it probably is a bit of shock. It won't have been the weather as it's been pretty mild. 

    I'm sure they'll recover though. It's not as though you've dug them up and moved them. Maybe cut back anything that's not looking good and hopefully they'll sprout new growth soon. Just keep them well watered.

    Thank you, I really hope so, the flowers are all really good, its just the leaves, perhaps it was the shock of having some decent sunshine today!

    They’re fairly Hardy generally I think- mine certainly are.

    Make sure they are well watered.




    Above is ones I grew on last year, once I started to see them struggling in the warm days in the pots, I watered them well and got them into the beds.
