Lupins

pokhimpokhim Posts: 210

I planted some Lupins about a month ago.. they're effectively just twigs with roots. I assume they just shoot up in spring and give a nice bloom?..

Anyway, I went to move them yesterday as I wanted to put something else in. I picked them up and they disintegrated in my hand. The twig was all rotten and wet at the base... 

Have I done something wrong.. are they supposed to look like twigs and is there any green bit on it?..

    darn!! Yes, I must have overwatered them.. I've had the sprinkler going on as my whole garden is new and i wanted everything to be wet.. perhaps these took the brunt! Maybe I'll pick up some more and plant them somewhere else with lots of good drainage..
