    Started the Sundial Lupines from seed last year (2023). So happy to see some survive winter ... noticed their return April 2024. Looking forward to seeing their blooms this year. I started a dozen more for this spring. I nicked seeds with a nail clipper and they germinated easily. Colorado zone 5b, elevation 7500 ft.

    I nicked and soaked some of them and they germinated much faster! Almost all of them germinated!
