Lupins (Red)
Lupinus My Castle
Majestic, richly-coloured, upright spikes of beautiful, crimson-red blooms produced on tall flowering stems from June to August. This is an elegant, cottage garden favourite which forms a well-established, dense foundation of fresh, bright green leaves attractively divided into many finger-like leaflets. Combining well with Aquilegias, Geraniums and Bearded Iris varieties, Lupins are tolerant of salt-laden air, making them a great choice for adding colour and accent to gardens near the coast. It looks stunning when planted in bold groups 45-60cm apart and the long flowering stems are excellent for cutting

Garden Care:
Incorporate lots of well-rotted organic matter into the backfill when planting. Apply generous well rotted organic mulch in early spring and keep well-watered during periods of dry weather.Please Note: Many perennials go ‘dormant’ which, in some cases, means that there is little or no top growth apparent between November and March. 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 spring. In the dormant period, we may not have stocks of all varieties in all pot sizes and therefore reserve the right to supply 9cm pots instead of 1 or 2 litre plants and adjust the price down accordingly
