Lupinus 'Gallery Blue' (Gallery Series)
lupin
Once established, 'Gallery Blue' lupin can produce up to 12 flower spikes on each plant, while its compact habit makes it suitable for both pots and borders. The purple-blue flowers, sometimes with a white standard, blend well with pink and plum shades.
How to care for Lupinus Gallery Blue (Gallery Series):
Plant lupins in full sun with well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil, avoiding heavy clay. Water regularly while establishing, but once mature they become more tolerant to dry conditions.
Stake tall cultivated varieties with bamboo canes in spring before flowers appear, and remove faded blooms to encourage a second flush. Mulch lightly in winter to protect roots, and watch for slugs and snails on young growth.
