Lupines prefer slightly acidic soil and consistent moisture, especially during dry spells. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and plant at the same depth as in the nursery pot. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil moist until established. Apply a layer of mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds, but keep mulch away from the crown to prevent rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFertilize lightly in early spring with a balanced fertilizer. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage additional blooms and prevent self-seeding if desired. In hot climates, provide afternoon shade to protect from intense heat. Lupines may benefit from staking in windy areas. Divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor. Monitor for pests like aphids and slugs, and treat as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne Lupine Russell Mix plant in a pot, ready for planting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"8 Store Seeds Sejahtera","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67871865176200,"sku":"seed - lupine-411","price":37.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_19771e87-dbb3-40fd-a342-cd19d5410027.jpg?v=1793979155","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/lupine-russell-mix-plant-multi-color-long-blooming-perennial","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
