Title: Lupy Lupins
Post by: quinny on April 24, 2005, 20:23:43
Today I dug my lupins up relocating them to the back of the border.  However each one looks like it's about to die upon me.  They're drooping all over the place.  I gave them a good soak of water just now to see if they'll recover.  When I divided them I just put the spade through the main body.

Have I killed them or is it just post traumatic translplant syndrome? :o

Any help greatly appreciated...

Should be fine, just keep them well watered until established ie. about 2 months or so

Make sure the old vine weevil grubs aren't in around the roots!  I loose so many plants to those little critters every year!
