The detail

Few plants add summer height & drama like Lupin Legendary Shades.

Garden Lupin produces bold, upright spires of densely packed flowers in striking shades of blue, red, rose-pink, white & yellow. Each flower spike rises above neat mounds of palmate blue-green foliage, creating a vibrant, pollinator-friendly display from late spring into summer. Perfect for mixed borders, containers & cottage gardens, these herbaceous perennials bring colour, structure & wildlife appeal season after season.
