Unwins Lupin Blue Javelin Seeds

Level fill a module tray with seed compost firming with the base of another tray. Water well with a fine rose. Sow seeds individually over the surface, lightly covering with a little more compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator at 20-25°C or cover tray with cling film and leave in a warm room.

When shoots appear, remove cling film or ventilate propagator. Keep seedlings in a light position, but shade from direct sunlight. Grow on in a minimum temperature of 10°C.

Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions for 2-3 weeks before planting out when risk of frost has passed. Allow 30cm between plants. Water well until established. Plant in groups of 3's and 5's, supporting each other as they grow.

Cut faded flowering stems regularly. Follow the stem into the canopy of the plant and cut off at its growing point.
