Planting and Establishment

• Location: Plant Lupinus WC Persian Slipper in a location with full sun to partial shade, ensuring it receives adequate sunlight for optimal flowering.
• Soil Type: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Amend heavy clay soil with organic matter such as compost or peat moss to improve drainage.
• Planting Time: Plant Lupinus WC Persian Slipper in early spring or autumn when the soil is moist and temperatures are mild.
• Spacing: Space plants approximately 12-18 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation and room for growth.
• Planting Depth: Set the plants at the same depth as they were in their nursery containers, ensuring the crown is level with the soil surface.
• Watering: Water newly planted specimens deeply to establish roots. Once established, Lupinus WC Persian Slipper is moderately drought-tolerant but benefits from regular watering during dry periods.

Maintenance and Care

• Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plants to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
• Deadheading: Remove spent flower spikes promptly to encourage continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding. This also helps maintain a neat and tidy appearance.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth and prolific flowering. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, as they may promote excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.
• Support: Tall varieties like Lupinus WC Persian Slipper may require staking or support to prevent flopping, especially in windy conditions or when laden with flowers.
• Pest and Disease Management: Monitor for common pests such as aphids or spider mites, and treat infestations promptly with appropriate control measures. Ensure good air circulation to prevent powdery mildew.
