The winter-sown lupine was a success this year. These are Russell's, a multi-colored mix. I managed to pot up 30 seedlings. I'll let these grow on a bit before potting them up again. Depending on how they grow, I'll either plant them in the late spring or hold them until fall. I ❤️ lupines.#thecoeurdalenecoop #wintersownflowers #lovelylupine #perennialflowers#lupinelove ...
