Lupinus polyphyllus MINI GALLERY™ Blue


Lupine

 USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.330.640


Colourful spikes of Lupines are an unforgettable sight in the early summer border. Plants grow best in a deep, rich soil, slightly on the acidic side. This newcomer features many spikes in true deep blue colour held well above the deep green foliage. It is dwarf, compact and very early flowering. Perfect for container combinations or as standalone item in pots. As these are biennial or short-lived perennials, allow some plants to set seed for future generations, or trim back hard after flowering is over. Flower spikes are great for cutting. From HM Clause in France. CAUTION: Harmful if eaten.
