That is gorgeous! I hate you! (not really!) All of the lupines I started from seed this year died. I found some potted ones and they seem to be doing well, but no blooms yet and I don't think they will this year. I just hope I can keep them alive until next year!

Do lupines die back in winter or stay green? I want to know what to expect should I be able to keep mine alive until next year. I believe the ones I have are first year Russell hybrids, and will bloom the second year. Thanks.

That is gorgeous!!! OK - so if you can grow lupines there, then I should be able to grow them here, right? I miss them so much - they were all over Alaska when I lived there!

Lupines die back and come in the next spring , very early .. take a photo of them and keep it till spring and watch.. Hows that .. I have 4 in the one bed.. Make oodles of seed also. b
