How to Grow
Start Lupin 'Noble Maiden' seeds by soaking overnight, then sow in well-drained soil with full sun. These hardy perennials thrive in UK gardens and attract pollinators.
Sowing
Sow Lupin ‘Noble Maiden’ seeds in early spring or autumn. For the quickest germination, soak seeds overnight, then sow into trays or modules filled with well-drained compost. Cover lightly and keep moist. Once seedlings have two true leaves, pot on and grow in a bright, cool spot.
Growing
Plant outdoors once frost danger has passed. Choose a sunny or lightly shaded position with free-draining soil—lupins dislike heavy clay or waterlogged ground. Space plants around 45cm apart to give the tall flower spikes room to develop.
Plant care
Tall stems may need light staking in exposed gardens. Cut back the entire plant after flowering to tidy the clump and promote fresh foliage. In winter, leave the basal crown undisturbed; lupins are hardy perennials and will regrow each spring. A light mulch around, but not over, the crown helps protect roots without risking rot.
