Lupinus Beefeater | West Country Lupin

Mid to late summer flowering perennial with scarlet-red flowers. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: well-drained soil Rate of growth: fast-growing Flowering period: June - July Hardiness: fully hardy Densely packed spires of flaming orange-red flowers, rise above the leafy clumps in early summer. An impressive perennial where you want a shot of vibrant colour, it can easily be incorporated into a border with a hot colour theme - or to add real drama, team it with rich purples and plum tones. Garden care: Stake with bamboo canes in spring before the flowers appear and deadhead the faded blooms to encourage a second flush of flowers. Protect young plants from slug and snail attack.
