Uses
Lupins are mostly used as fodder and food crops, and some species are also used ornamentally. They are traditionally part of the human diet mainly in the Mediterranean region and in the Andean highlands of South America [21], although this use is limited (only 4% of global production)

Lupins do not grow well in clay or chalky soil – they much prefer soil that is neutral to slightly acidic. Moist, well-drained soil is recommended as the optimum, but they will tolerate most garden conditions.
Sowing Method
There are a couple of different methods available to germinate and grow lupins from seeds. The first of which is to soak the seed for 24 hours in clear water before sowing in a peat-free compost or growing medium of choice. Another method involves germinating the seeds in a piece of damp kitchen towel
