Lupine, seed growing and grooming

Lupine is a plant from the family of legumes, its name "Lupinus" is translated from Latin as "wolf". It is not clear why he was given such a name, maybe for the shape of flowers that look a bit like a wolf's muzzle, or because the beans are bitter in lupine, sometimes called "wolf beans". In the genus of this plant there are both annual and perennial species, but here we will talk about decorative, garden lupine, this is perennial.

Decorative lupine refers to the species "lupine multilayered" - "Lupinus poliphyllos", or rather, the so-called wild ancestor of garden lupine originating from America. About a hundred years ago English gardeners crossed this kind of lupine with another species, lupine yellow and got a nice decorative form. And their compatriot Russell, who was in love with lupines and who dedicated their breeding to 15 years, brought out a modern form of lupine with flowers of various colors.

Today Russell's varieties are the most beautiful garden lupines. They are not inferior in decorative to phlox, iris, delphinium of the best varieties. There are tall varieties in this group, reaching a height of 1 meter, and there are low varieties with many inflorescences. Coloring is also very diverse, the most interesting color of lupine is bi-color, when there are two colors in one inflorescence, for example, yellow with blue, red with orange, etc.

Probably the most unpretentious of the decorative perennials - lupins, growing from seeds, undemanding to the fertility of the soil, good winter hardiness make it a coveted culture in the garden. A powerful and deep root system protects it from a small drought. In addition, the lupine has an important advantage, like all legumes it accumulates nitrogen, improves and loosens the soil. This is an excellent precursor for crops that need fertile and well-cultivated soil. Lupine itself prefers loamy or sandy loam soils, but it can also grow on poor soils. But strong acid, clay soils lupine does not tolerate, it grows well on neutral or slightly acidic.

Sowing

This plant multiplies easily by self-seeding, but to keep the lupine from the seeds of varietal qualities, there should not be another type of lupine next to it. Otherwise, you will grow a "mongrel" lupine. Cultivation from seeds is the easiest way to reproduce lupine.

When to sow lupine? You can sow the seeds of lupine on seedlings, for this they are sown in mid-April in a greenhouse or in a box on the windowsill. As soon as weather permits, you can plant young plants in a permanent place. This should be done cautiously: lupine does not like transplants. Seedling method allows you to get flowering plants in the year of sowing.

You can sow lupine until the middle of summer, then around the beginning of June next year you will get a blooming lupine. Cultivation from seeds, perhaps, is best to start in the fall. Lupine sows under the winter, dry seeds. This will allow him to move into growth early in the spring. If you want to grow lupines for seeds or for cutting, then plant it with a distance between plants of 40 cm (between rows of 60 cm), but in a flower garden you can plant it and more often.

Care

To prolong the flowering of lupine, the discolored inflorescence is cut off, not allowing the seeds to form. Lupine needs weeding, making phosphorus-potassium fertilizers in the second half of the summer. In the dry summer lupines have to be watered, watering should be rare, but abundant. Unfortunately, the lupine bush is not very durable, in four years it is advisable to replace the old plants begin to lose decorativeness and preferably replace them with young ones. By the way, thanks to self-seeding this plant can become a real weed. In Norway, for example, it is a hard weed, so it is forbidden to plant lupins outside the vegetable gardens. Cultivation from seeds is not the only way to multiply lupine. A particularly successful specimen can be propagated vegetatively. When the plant fades, cuttings with a piece of the root collar are cut off from it. They are rooted in a greenhouse, at a low temperature (18-20 degrees), to do it better at the end of the summer х PP U /; ов of the development of the enterprise and the efficiency of resource use.
