Water: Lupines 'The Page' thrives with good drainage and regular watering, requiring 1 inch (2.5 cm) weekly during the growing season. Insufficient water can hasten seeding and hinder seedling growth, while overwatering may cause root rot and affect nitrogen fixation. Balance water levels for optimal growth.

Iron shortages cause chlorosis, which can be remedied with a micronutrient mix compost, avoiding toxicity. Phosphorus deficiency limits growth; applying a phosphorus-containing fertilizer can enhance its development.

Pruning: Lupines 'The Page' boasts vibrant blooms and sturdy foliage, thriving with early to late spring pruning. Deadheading and shaping promote growth and prevent legginess. Use clean, sharp tools for effective maintenance, encouraging continuous flowering and ensuring optimal health.

Propagation: Lupines 'The Page' is favored for home propagation. Basal cuttings are taken in spring and can root in a sand and compost mix. Spring is ideal for dividing, though caution is needed due to the long taproot to ensure it remains intact.
