Lupine is best increased by seeds. Snip off the faded blooming stalk so the plant will rebloom. Meanwhile take the stalk and store it in a card board box in a dry spot. In the fall the dry seeds can be shaken from the plant and scattered over the ground. If you live in a very cold climate you may want to wait until March or April to sprinkle the seeds onto loose soil. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
