Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The Westcountry lupines from England are the most beautiful in the world with incredible colours, including bicolours, tons of flowers, and great vigour. Lupinus 'Red Rum' is a subtle tricolour with red wings and rose banners with a flush of white. Lupines frequently go through a "dumb phase" after blooming. Plant them behind something that is one foot tall and cut back six inches after flowering to encourage new growth and rebloom.
