Aw, that’s beautiful! I also bought two new lupins two months ago - a purple and a dark red one. The bloom stocks are already forming and I can’t wait for them to finally bloom. Good luck with your pale yellow lupine. Sounds stunning!

Great! Enjoy your new lupines :D

I‘m hoping for a long blooming period this year as well. Not sure my lupine gets enough sun. Let’s see :)

@@GardeningwithTill I'll cross my fingers for you (and me too!!)!

In some countries like Iceland they’ve even become invasive and have pushed back a lot of the native plants. They aren’t as common in Germany, where I currently live. I’ve had a lot of luck growing lupins in pots. Wishing you a lot of luck and joy with your lupine :)

Deer ate mine

@@ClaudBawlz oh no, what a pity :/ I guess deer couldn’t make it all the way up onto my balcony luckily ;)

@@GardeningwithTill Mine are blooming now and I love it. Lupin as invasive here too. They are all over the place.

@@ClaudBawlz Oh no!! Really sorry to hear that!

Great! I’m glad you found the video helpful!

Yes it really is a shame :/ always happy when I manage to make lupins bloom this little bit longer :)

:)

Thank you for watching :)

Great! Enjoy the blooms :)

Thank you! :) Just have a bit of patience. Sometimes it takes a few weeks for new buds to form. A bit of fertilising may help as well. Sometimes this encourages foliage growth, but in the blooming season also bloom production :)

Fantastic to hear that you feel confident about gardening. It's great to have a beautiful garden where you can putter. I do not cut them back to the soil, because I really enjoy the structure and texture of the leaves. Good luck!

I leave mine to do their own thing but I do try to work out when it's the last flower stem in August (when I can't see any new buds forming) so they can go to seed, then when the seed pods are brown and more crispy I collect them for planting next spring and give some to friends/family. They're very easy to propagate and you can get a hundred seeds from one flower stem. You could even just drop those seeds on some soil in Autumn and some of them will probably pop up in spring depending on where you are and how harsh your winter might be.

Fantastic, I hope your lupine will bloom a long time :) Fingers crossed!

Thanks for your question. This is a little bit out of my area of expertise. However, several varieties of lupines are toxic to animals. So be careful.

Thank you :) I only ever planted one lupine per pot, but I reckon you could fit in more if you have a very large pot. But start with one plant per pot at the beginning to be on the safe side :)

In meiner Erfahrung sind die darauffolgenden Blüten kleiner. Aber trotzdem sehr schön :)

@@GardeningwithTill Ja, sie schauen echt schön aus, sicherlich auch wenn sie kleiner sind. Ich werd mich aber wahrscheinlich doch nicht auf die Lupinen- Blütenpracht allein verlassen, und noch zwei Töpfe mit anderen Blumen daneben hinstellen. Ich hab nur wenig Raum und will diesen Sommer das Meiste da raus holen blütenmäßig. 😄 Danke, du hast mir sehr geholfen mit der Info und deinen Videos!

I didn’t sow these particular lupins, but if you have lupin seeds, you should sow them in early to mid-spring. Good luck :)

@@GardeningwithTill thank you so much but is it possible to seed them in October? I live in Middle East winter and spring is short

@@gaithzuhair7176 hmm, good question. In that case I’m not entirely sure. I would assume that you can sow them in autumn or winter if it doesn’t get incredibly cold in the night. But not sure to be honest, sorry.

@@GardeningwithTill thank you

Sorry that my video is such a nuisance ;P I hope you found a way :)
