lupin The tapering lupin spires come in every colour and they provide a unique vertical in the herbaceous border - which is still mostly full of leaf. I welcome them almost as much as the bumble bees that they attract.

lupin Planting & Care
Plant lupins when young - so that they can put down a good root system - in an open position away from trees.
Lupins are not great fans of chalk. However I have managed to grow plants in the limestone soil of the Cotswolds and they flower well.
Lupins prefer well-drained soil which isn’t too rich.
Lupins do not take too kindly to being chopped back hard after flowering - they take months to recover.
If you have a good plant, don’t let it produce lots of seeds. Keep the vigour in the parent plant and deadhead as the flowers fade. Never divide in autumn.
