Lupine flowers may be annual and last only for a season, or perennial, returning for a few years in the same spot in which they were planted. The lupine plant grows from a long taproot and does not like to be moved.

Do lupines come back every year?

While Lupine seeds may yield both annual (life cycle complete in one growing season) and perennial (long-lived, coming back each spring) varieties, potted Lupine plants are typically perennial cultivars.

How do you get lupines to rebloom?

After Deadheading

After you deadhead a lupine, give it good moisture to help the plant put on a strong second show of flowers, which usually arrive several weeks later. Ensure that the plant receives at least 1 inch of water weekly.
