FAQ about Lupin – Classic

What kind of soil suits lupins best?

Lupins thrive in well-drained, slightly acid to neutral soil with a pH of 5.5-7.0. They dislike limy and waterlogged soil. Lupins fix their own nitrogen, so the soil does not need much fertiliser.

How often should lupins be watered?

Water regularly during the growing season, especially in dry spells, watering deeply but letting the soil dry slightly in between. Established lupins have a deep taproot and cope fairly well with dry spells.

When and how should lupins be pruned?

Cut faded flower spikes back to the first side shoot to encourage a second flush and prevent self-seeding. In late autumn, cut the whole plant down to ground level once it has died back.

Which pests and diseases can affect lupins?

The lupin aphid can form large colonies on stems and spikes, so rinse them off or remove affected parts. Slugs and snails love young plants, and root rot occurs in wet soil.

Are lupins hardy?

Yes, garden lupins are fully hardy perennials. The plant dies down above ground in autumn but the roots survive the winter. Lupins are fairly short-lived and are best renewed from seed or cuttings every few years. Note that lupin seeds and plants are poisonous.
