We regularly have winter temperatures of -10 to -20, I harvest the seeds now and sow them so they get a good start to plant out early next year and then leave them where the are and harvest the seeds again etc. Have now got lots of lovely different colours
So areall lupin seeds the same colour? I have some from same plant that are white-ish and others that are grey or brown. What ones are most likely via to grow?
I've been given some seeds too but the casing is still dark in colour with fluffy fur, does this mean that they haven't ripened and therefore won't germinate?
I have grown some lupin from seeds that I planed about a month ago. some of them have germinated and they are starting to look like tiny lupin, but what do i do with them now?? Please help
Keep them somewhere with good light but don't let the frost or slugs get them. although lupins are hardy a proper frost would probably kill a young plant.
Oh Dear, Wish I hadn't read this. I've had great success with seeds from 'The Page' the plants are now about 3-4 inches tall, but I am not good overwintering Plants in the greenhouse, I tend to forget them, so I planted them out a couple of weeks ago. Have they got any chance of surviving? Should I cover them with that fleece stuff? Help please!
someone else said that! Slugs ate all hers, they've never bothered with mine though, loads of Hostas for them to munch! Do you think I should re pot them? they've been in about two weeks.
I planted lupin seeds in the Spring the plants are about 1ft tall now. Are they OK to go in the garden or should I keep them in the Greenhouse until the spring. I'm not planning to heat the greenhouse unless it gets really really cold and then I might add a small amount of heat.

I think they'll be more troubled by slugs and wet than they are by cold Lola
