Lupins you can usually get in packets in the Stores.
Russell Lupins are perennial so try diggers Seeds

They should be fine. Lupine are biennial, so they normally spend their first season growing roots and a lower group of leaves. Hopefully, yours will just have a slight head start on growth, but will still spend next summer growing leaves and then bloom the next year. Lupine can also behave as perennials and continue to bloom for multiple yeas. Either way, your plant should survive winter just fine and keep growing next year. Martha

Hi cats, yes, you can collect lupine seeds and start plants easily. You can plant them in place outside as they dry out or store them. If you store them, the seeds can be planted inside in the late Winter next year. Bear in mind if you plant inside, be prepared to give them light after germination, that's a set up you may not have at this stage. If you plant outside now or later, place them carefully where you'd like them permanently. They don't like to be transplanted due their taproot style. Lupines are a great plant and seed to grow for a new gardener. Have fun!

My lupins are blooming now. I will collect quite a lot of seed from them in a few months. If you are patient, you could contact me again in early Autumn and I will send you some for postage. They are a good colour mix.
Cheers, Jan

How do you harvest lupin seeds and plant them?

I bought a 20g packet from Eden seeds last year so I have heaps to spare. If anyone wants some send me an email. We can do a swap of something.

As for sowing, I'm glad I bought a large packet because my initial attempts were terrible. Bacteria/fungus got them the first two times. Then when they did get up a huge slug decided it was her favorite evening snack! Anyway, I eventually got about fifty going via the following method.

It may be a bit extreme but its my standard no fail method for suseptible seeds and I don't have to use fungicides.

1) Sterilise seed (3% household bleach with a drop of detergent for 10 min)
2) Sterilise soil (steam or microwave)
3) Clean hands really well and flame a knife
4) Chit the lupin seeds
5) plant. in spring they all germinated within the week.

I planted mine into native tubes as they apparently have long tap roots and dislike being distrubed. I'm just about the plant them into the garden as they are sort of dormant at the moment.

cheers
karl
