I just started some LUpine Seeds I bought from American Meadows. Yes, I know I should have done this early spring but I just didn't get to it intil lately. This was right in the middle of our heat spell too. I made planting containers out of the flats you buy annuals in by filling with potting medium and sprinkling my seed on top. I put them in the sun. You just have to watch that they don't dry up. So far they are just coming up but coming up like gangbusters. Even in the sweltering heat. These are the annual Lupines they sell, different but similiar to the perennial ones. I wonder if these might be the answer for those in hot climates that can't grow the usual ones?
I will keep everyone posted on how they do for me. This is a good test as I started them in the hot weather and they did not get a chance to get established in the cool spring and will have to deal with the heat and humidity. We will see.
