Lupinus 'Noble Maiden' (Band of Nobles Series)
lupin
A robust lupin that produces densely packed spikes of creamy white flowers in mid-summer, and often again in early autumn. Lupins are stalwarts of the cottage garden, and are perfect for adding vertical movement to the border. Easy to grow and undemanding, 'Noble Maiden' will put on quite a show, with the minimum of fuss, provided it has reliable moisture when actively growing.
How to care for Lupinus Noble Maiden (Band of Nobles 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.
