closely spaced on three- to four-foot spikes. The effect made by these 
suede spires places the Lupines in the front rank of hardy border 
plants. 
Culture. Growing Lupines well is not as much a problem of soil as it is 
one of atmospheric conditions. They require ample moisture, full sun 
and do not like the hot drying winds of summer. They do equally well 
in heavy or light sandy scils. Water freely when ground is dry. They 
look best planted in boid groups. Plant in fall or early spring, ten 
inches apart. Whenever possible do planting and transplanting in fall.
