Before planting Lupin 'Russell Hybrid Mixed', it is important to prepare the roots properly. Soak the roots in water for 3-6 hours to encourage establishment. Then plant the roots very shallowly, about 1-2 cm deep, in well-drained soil in a sunny to lightly shaded location. Although the lupine likes the sun, it can also tolerate some shade. Make sure you plant it at the same depth as where it originally grew. This lupine may prefer slightly acidic soil, so it may be useful to test the soil and adjust if necessary.

After flowering, Lupin 'Russell Hybrid Mixed' requires minimal maintenance. Remove spent flower stalks to keep the plant looking tidy and to allow energy to flow to the roots. Lupins are hardy and can withstand cold temperatures, but a mulch layer can help protect the roots in winter and keep the plant healthy.
