Lupines from wildflower seeds

Question

I recently (two weeks ago) planted lupine seeds purchased in Alaska and another packet in Alberta. The directions were to plant in the fall for spring sprouting. I just noticed several are already sprouting. Do I need to protect them through the winter with a covering of leaves or other mulch?

Answer 1

Lupines are perennial, so yes, by protecting the young plants with mulch, you will probably help their survival and allow them to come back in the spring.
