Lupines need neutral to slightly acidic soil, although they can grow in very acidic soil conditions.

Sandy soil conditions and poor rocky soil promote the growth of the lupineâs deep tap root. Starting lupines from seed is an economical way to get a showy flower garden the following season. The seed coat is tough, and seeds have a better germination rate if you nick the seed coat or soak them in water overnight.
