Lupine Seeds - Russell Strain - Noble Maiden

Honored with the RHS Award of Garden Merit in 1937, the regal and lovely Noble Maiden Russell Lupine has long been a cottage garden staple, but is also a favorite in the cutting garden. Soaring to nearly four feet tall, the lovely palmate foliage is topped with stately white spires of blooms.

*Seed scarification advised for lupine seeds (Nicking or scaring seeds with hard seed coatings before planting helps the seeds absorb water. After scarification, soak seeds in water overnight before planting. This will jump-start germination and get your garden growing faster.)
