Pruning: Hartweg's lupine 'Avalune Blue' boasts beautiful blue flowers and prefers well-drained soil. Prune in early to late spring to boost growth and flowering. Start by removing dead stems, then shape the plant. Regular pruning promotes bushiness and prevents disease by enhancing air circulation for vibrant blooms.
Propagation: Hartweg's lupine 'Avalune Blue' is ideal for home propagation. Take basal cuttings in spring, rooting them in a 50/50 sand and compost mix. Spring is also suitable for division, but caution is needed to avoid damage to the long taproot.
