Product Description
This cottage garden favourite comes in a compact size in a myriad of stunning colours. Pea-like flowers seemingly bursting with colour open from the base of the flower spike over several weeks in early summer. Clean-cut spring green foliage form at the base of each spike in star formations, creating a neat and pretty bed. If aphids are a problem for you, simply plant your Lupins near Petunias, garlic, chives or onions. How about planting with Marigolds, Sunflowers, Daisies or Alyssum? Not only will your border look beautiful, but these plants are known to attract beneficial insects like ladybirds. Lupins do not take too kindly to being chopped back hard after flowering – they take months to recover. Supplied as UK-grown 5cm module plants. Flowers July-August. Height 80-100cm
