TREATED SEED

Treating lupine seeds increases the rate of germination and speeds up the process. Place the seeds on a layer of moist paper towels in a plastic bag, and store the bag in a cold place (refrigerator) for a week or longer. When a shorter treatment process is required, remove a tiny chip from the seed coat and soak it in warm water for up to 24 hours. Treated seeds should be planted outside during the growing season, ideally between early spring and late summer.

UNTREATED SEEDS

The simplest way to plant lupines is to sow untreated seeds directly into the ground. Lupine seeds that are not treated can be planted directly in the garden from September to November to take advantage of the cold winter weather.

Germination for lupine seeds planted this way can take up to two years.  

Actual germination time depends on moisture availability and the ground temperature; a cool, late spring may result in late growth. Because lupines need at least some exposure to cool temperatures to develop their roots, spring planting may delay growth for up to a year.

INDOOR PLANTING

Starting lupines indoors increases their rate of survival and allows you to germinate them at a time that is convenient for you. Nick each seed with a razor before refrigerating the seeds for a week or longer, and then plant them in moist, lime-free potting mix. Keep the soil moist, and place the pots in a location that receives at least eight to 10 hours of direct sun each day. If sunlight is unavailable, supplement with an artificial full spectrum, or “grow,” light. 

    Lay the seeds on top of the soil, spacing the seeds 12 inches apart. Cover the seeds with 1/8 inch of soil and sprinkle water over the planting area. Keep the soil moist throughout the germination process. It takes 15 to 75 days for lupine sprouts to appear when the soil is 55 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Transplant the seedlings outdoors or to very tall pots when they reach 2 to 3 inches in height, because older plants cannot be reliably moved.

    TRANSPLANTING

    Lupines can only be transplanted successfully when they are very young due to their long, fragile taproots. Specimens grown in peat pots survive better than those removed from traditional clay or plastic pots, because the root receives less handling. To transplant lupines outside, place them outdoors for a week during the spring months to accustom them to your local climate. Dig a hole 1 1/2 times deeper than the height of the pot and place the seedling so that the crownlike structure from which the leaves grow remains above ground.

    Gardening Plants And Flowers ships to most countries worldwide via EMS, USPS or DHL e-commerce for all domestic and international packages.

    Under normal conditions, in all other months of the year, the processing time for orders is 2-3 business days.

    After that, the estimated delivery time is 3-9 days within US and 2-6 weeks internationally.

    However, during holidays, special conditions or limited edition launches, this time may vary. 

    Once an item leaves our warehouse and is handed to the carrier, the shipping process is the responsibility of the carrier.

    While we do have access to tracking systems which can provide information, once a package is in the carrier network, we are unable to fulfill requests such as redirecting packages or recalling packages, and we will look to resolve shipping issues in other ways. 

    If an order has been shipped and the tracking has not been updated 30 days from the date shipped, please contact our support at support@gardening-plant.com

    Shipping & Handling Charges are as follows:

    For Seeds there is a Flat Rate shipping fee for all domestic orders (within United States territory). This means, it doesn’t matter how many seed items you add to cart, you'll pay the same shipping fee.

    For Gardening Tools and Other products the shipping fee is calculated at the checkout page for all domestic and international orders (free shipping over $75).

    Your order may arrive in separate packages. 

    We are not responsible for any shipping deliveries that may be affected by customs, natural occurrences, transfers from EMS, DHL, USPS to the local carrier in your country or air and ground transportation strikes or delays, nor any extra fees, customs or back end charges once the package has exited the United States.

    Packages undeliverable by EMS, DHL, USPS and/or their international shipping partners will be cancelled and refunded once received and processed at our shipping hub (other than seeds). 

    How can I track my order?

    You will receive a shipping confirmation email once your order is ready to ship. The day an order ships does not count as a day in transit. 

    However, note that most of the time, the tracking system will display more information only after the package is collected by the carrier.

    So, if you can’t track your parcel, the reason might be simply because no data available in the system yet, your order hasn’t been confirmed yet.

    The logistics provider’s tracking system is updated every time when a parcel is scanned in a local depot.

    If you don’t see any new information, just check again later. It might be that your parcel is still in transit and hasn’t reached yet a new depot.

    However, if you noticed the package is stuck, please contact us immediately. We will work quickly to resolve the issue and resend it to you as soon as possible.

    CANCEL ORDER

    An order cannot be cancelled once it has been prepared for shipping.

    You can cancel items or orders that haven't entered the shipping process yet. 
    It may be possible to cancel your order during processing, but once it moves to the shipping process, it cannot be canceled.
    To cancel your order, contact our email support at support@gardening-plant.com in the next 2 hours after placing the order; all these, because we try to ship your items as fast as possible to reach out to you on time.

    If it is too late to cancel your order, you may return any unwanted items in accordance with our Refund Policy.

    If you cannot track your package, please notify us. We will use our tracking system to identify your package. If we will not be able to track the package too, it's more likely the package was lost and we will launch an inquiry with our carrier about the lost package and attempt to have it recovered.

    DISCLAIMER

    Seed is a live product which depends on grower skills, such as proper planting time, seed depth, type of soil, irrigation, proper use of fertilizers, weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease free soil, and reasonable weather conditions during the growing period. Germination is affected by factors as temperature, moisture content, light intensity and planting method. These factors are totally out of the seller's control and are the buyer's responsibility and risk. The seller cannot unconditionally guarantee seed to perform properly regardless of conditions or the buyer's methods or mistakes.
