Hi all! I am very much a new gardener and would love to know your thoughts on whether or not to divide this 3 year old Lupin or should I leave it another year? Also when is the best time to divide?.Thanks!
Lupins never last very long with me. They usually come true from seed, so if you want more I would take some seeds off and sow them singly in 3inch pots next spring. From an early sowing they will often flower the first year.
Hi everyone - thanks for all your comments (and sorry for the sideways photo - oops).
I think I will try some cuttings and collect some seeds as well. And I might even try and divide it next year just to see what happens. As usual you have been a huge help!

I would sow seed as well. Don't think you can divide lupins as they don't like root disturbance and I think they have a tap root.
Virtually impossible to divide. Either sow seed or take cuttings in early spring.

I stand corrected. Thankyou Verdun you learn something new everyday.
