…. I don’t know. Although if it is just a few of them maybe the seed doesn’t get pollinated or
the native critters aren’t around anymore to pollinate them. They should be able to propagate
them from their roots. We have grown lupines from seed that is thousands of years old.

It depends on where you live but the Native American ones are really easy to grow. P.M.
me and I can put you in touch with a friend who grows them. They are like a big sunflowers
and help lots of our native critters such as bees, insects, birds, and firefly larvae. 🐛
