How to Select Healthy Garden Lupine？

When selecting a healthy garden lupine, look for vibrant, deep green leaves without yellowing or browning, which indicates good health. Ensure the plant is free from visible pests or signs of disease, such as spots or discoloration. The stems should be sturdy and upright, not wilted or mushy. Check that the soil is moist but well-draining, not overly wet or dry. Opt for a plant with multiple stems or branches to ensure dense growth and overall vigor.
