Great little informative video. I live on the coast of N Wales and yellow shrub lupins grow wild all around the marina in Pwllheli. They completely disintegrate and disappear in winter time and then reappear in spring and bloom in May and keep on blooming all summer long and it’s incredible how much growth they attain before the first frosts finally finish them off. Anyway thank you again for your video help 👍🏻😉
In my climate that’s how plants grow. They come up from bare ground, put on lots of growth from May to September and then die back to the ground again for winter. Unfortunately many plant’s roots cannot survive our cold. It takes a special plant to live here perennially. Thanks for sharing about your local lupine.
Ooh I do like a lupin, we have one at the allotment thats blue and white, but unfortunately I have no idea which variety it is! I look forward to seeing yours grow.
I love lupin. There’s a house in my neighbourhood with a huge display in their front yard. My goal is a display like this. I’ve not had a lot of luck getting them to thrive in the past, just a few scraggly plants in odd places. I hope this is the year to change that.
Great video! These have been fighting me for the past 6 years. I had expected a fairly nice orchard understory but alas, they haven't grown. I'm going to try your method this year!!
It’s funny how some people struggle with these (I did for years) and others grow them easily. If you look through my videos you’ll see I planted several later in the season. Fingers crossed they survive this winter and I get to enjoy them again.
HEY!!! You wrote upside down. How cool is that? Do you prefer one way of planting over the other? Thank You for sharing your knowledge and gardening skills. Best Wishes. Grandpa Jones. 😃
This is my first time (in many years) growing Lupin from seed and my first year winter sowing. I will have to wait for the results to know which I prefer. Winter sowing is said to produce stronger plants.
Nice method to avoid disturbing roots. Do you just plant the whole bag and it bio-degrades? This could be a good way to start veggies that are sensitive to transplanting stress. Nice!
Thanks. These bags are said to be able to plant them and they will break down. I’m not convinced of this yet. I will be up potting some veg into these as needed and have peppers in them already. I will let you know how they do for breaking down. I will probably cut a few slots in them before planting just for insurance.
That's good info I was looking for, I had a lupine and for many years it bloomed and then had pest attack and stopped blooming..have some seeds so will try it.Subscribing.. I'm in Alberta and have a small plant channel too.
I have lupin seeds someone gifted me, but don’t know if they might be harmful for my fur babies. I need to do more research. Those seeds sprouted quick for you. Take care my friend 😊
It appears lupine are toxic to animals with the worst toxicity being in the seeds. It is said animals that forage in it are most at risk because they keep going back and eating small amounts repeatedly so it builds up. Something to keep in mind when growing any plant is who/what is around it that might try to eat it.
Nice video tutorial, except on all my speaker devices: I still can't hear your audio clearly, at all. 💖 💖 Nice tutorial, I do appreciate. Just a heads up. 💖 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I’ve given mine one watering just last week. They were looking a bit dry by that point. As crazy as it sounds we had very little snow all through March. Every snowfall melted within a few days. It has stayed mostly around freezing except for last week was double digits a few days. The weather has made the world feel extra upside down as we would normally have several feet and big piles of snow still. I have just peeked in the tops of the jugs at least once a week to see if there was moisture on the sides or if the soil looked damp. When it started to appear dry I watered them. It snowed much of yesterday so that may give them some moisture again if it melts in a few days. Thanks for watching.
I purchased the bags through amazon. Here are some links to the products. The US link appears to be the same product sold by a different company. I purchased through the Canadian seller.

I actually just purchased a boatload of those bags for my seeds in Nova Scotia. Getting my grow shelf set up now. Thanks for the video! How'd you make out starting in those bags? I'm debating whether to start in bags or jiffy pellets. I've plans for at least 150.. .
I just give them a few passes with an emery stick. When I plant many I toss them in a small bucket with a handful of pool sand and shake for about 30sec before direct sowing and cover with 1/4" of soil.
Wew... 2:23 how do you do that? Looks odd. It's funny, our different environments mean that we have (hopefully) just removed lupins from our flower beds because of the *short* bloom time we get with them on the west coast. I know that Ryan's start blooming just as our are giving up (ours bloom May - early July and then it's way too hot for them). We are probably going to miss them and want them back in a few years. I like the natural weathered way of growing but I doubt the milk jug ones will flower in the first year, I may be wrong though, there is a far better chance for the ones you've started in the bags. 🍺
😀 I did not know this was a talent but my upside down writing seems to have gotten some attention. I have never achieved a nice grouping of lupine in the yard. I drive by a house in my neighbourhood with a gorgeous clump of them that seems to last forever. I think you are correct about which ones might flower this year. As long as they survive to bloom next year I’ll be happy. Take care.
Good video how to except for the needless background music which makes it difficult to hear. I turn up the volume to hear you and I hear the music louder. Quite frankly the music is distracting. I want to hear you, not music that makes me tense. It’s not even relaxing music.
Given that your channel name is “prairie plantgirl,” I certainly hope those are not lupinus polyphyllus, which is in fact very invasive in the prairie and anywhere else that’s not the western U.S.A.
