Lupine Specials

Lupines are classic cottage-garden perennials admired for their tall, colorful flower spikes and lush, textured foliage. Blooming in late spring to early summer, lupine varieties produce dense vertical blooms in a wide range of colors including blue, pink, purple, red, yellow, and mixed bi-colors. Their bold flower spikes add height, structure, and vibrant seasonal color to garden beds, borders, and pollinator-friendly landscapes.

Known for attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, lupines bring both beauty and ecological value to the garden. Their upright habit pairs beautifully with other sun-loving perennials and creates a striking display in naturalized and cottage-style plantings.

Maintenance: Plant in full sun to partial sun with rich, well-drained soil and moderate moisture. Water regularly during the first 1–2 weeks after planting to establish roots, then maintain consistent watering during active growth and dry periods. Deadhead spent flower spikes to encourage additional blooming and maintain a tidy appearance. Avoid overly wet or poorly drained soil, especially during winter, and cut back faded foliage at the end of the growing season if desired.
