lupines

18 years ago

Just curious if anyone has any lupines up yet in MN.

I'm in central MN, about an hour north of the twin cities. I planted a lot of new ones last year and they looked great last fall but they have not sprouted yet.

Wondering if they didn't make it or I'm just too impatient.

Thanks in advance :)

I'm 30 miles west of the TC. The lupines are up about 4 inches here. I hope yours appear soon. Their blooms are so lovely.

I w/s some lupines, hoping they will do something. Still waiting for the columbines to do something- no germination whatsoever.
I'll be waiting to plant all these babies till the end of the month.

I am in Ramsey, my wild lupines are up and running, my cultivars are only up about two inches. I have lost them in the past, I treat them like delphiniums, I buy them cheap and hold my breath.

Good Luck, Helen.
