Lupins
Lupinus The Chatelaine
Tall, imposing spikes of delicate, sweet pea shaped, alluring pink and pearly-white flowers from June to August. This is a traditional cottage garden favourite with an elegant, uplifting appearance and dark, blue-green leaves attractively divided into many finger-like leaflets. It forms a well-established, leafy foundation with several stunning, bi-coloured flower spires rising out of a single base. Tolerant of salt-laden air, it’s great for adding colour and accent to borders near the coast or cutting for use in fresh or dried flower arrangements. A very desirable and distinguished perennial whose spectacular blooms are set off perfectly by the dark backdrop of foliage

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
