Lupins
Lupinus Chandelier
Majestic spikes of slightly fragrant, cheerful, sweet pea shaped blooms in varying shades of yellow from bright lemon to rich butter all in the same spike. This is a traditional, tall, cottage garden perennial with an uplifting image and handsome, dark blue-green leaves attractively divided into many finger-like leaflets. Growing in any reasonably well-drained, sunny position, it normally blooms the first year after planting, adding valuable colour and accent to the garden. The flowers have an intense, glowing appearance which is set off beautifully by the backdrop of dark foliage

Garden Care:
Mulch around the base of the plant to help protect it over the winter and deadhead faded flowers promptly to prolong blooming time. It may need to be sprayed against aphids once or twice a year. Please Note: Although all our perennials are advertised as being sold in 1 litre containers, they are sometimes stocked in 9cm pots instead (particularly during the winter). If you order perennials from us, we reserve the right to supply them in 9cm pots instead of 1 litre containers, at a price of £2.50 instead of £3.80. Between November and March many perennials go ‘dormant’ which, in some cases, means they are sold as a root, corm or bulb with no top growth. If you order perennials whilst they are dormant, they may not be visible above the soil level when purchased but will burst into life in the spring.
