Growing Lupins from seed - question?
 
Hi there, I planted some lupin seeds in early March, the majority of which seem to be doing well, they have been put into seperate pots, I found this picture online which shows seedlings of a very similar size

I'm a complete beginner & the only directions I have are on the seed packet which states that they will flower next spring, my question is, what do I do with the plants until then? Will they need to continue moving into larger pots until winter passes this year? They are currently outside in their pots & aside from one which appears to have been eaten by something they are all thriving.

Any advice welcome, many thanks.

Once they get to a reasonable size, they can be planted out in the
garden. But they are *very* attractive to slugs, which are quite capable
of killing the entire plant.
