Can I now take seeds from my Lupin? If so where should I store them til the spring?

Many thanks

In a paper bag not a plastic one. I save all those return envelopes enclosed in spam mail, ideal. Write on the envelope what they are, colour etc and date year collected. Store in a dry place. You could try sowing some now. Those that germinate keep them ticking over on a shady windowsill over winter.

To help them germinate, scratch the seed surface with some sandpaper or nail file and put them in a glass of lukewarm water, overnight before sowing.
