Lupine Growing Tips

- Plant in a well-drained soil that has been slightly enriched with organic matter, within a
pH range of 5.5-6.8.
- Incorporate compost into the planting hole to feed a growing plant and to encourage an
even soil moisture.
- An application of mulch is good for winter protection, and keeping soil moisture
consistent; which lupines prefer.
- Lupines grow best in areas with cool summers.
