Russell Lupine FAQ
Do I need to soak or scarify the seeds?
Yes. Nick the hard coat or soak seeds overnight in warm water before sowing.
Does it grow in hot climates?
Russell lupines prefer cool summers and thrive in cold regions (zones 3–6); in warm regions treat them as cool-season plants with afternoon shade and expect them to fade in summer heat.
Can I transplant seedlings?
Lupines have a taproot and dislike transplanting; direct sow or use deep pots.
Is it safe for children and pets?
No. Lupine seeds and plants are toxic if eaten; keep away from children and pets.
