Lupin Westcountry

 

The Lupin Westcountry, known for its vibrant and showy flower spikes, is a stunning perennial plant that brings a burst of color to any garden. These lupins feature tall, dense clusters of blooms in a variety of shades, including rich purples, blues, pinks, yellows, and whites. Each flower spike can reach heights of up to 3-4 feet, making them a striking focal point in garden beds and borders.

The foliage of Lupin Westcountry is equally attractive, with palmate leaves that form a lush green mound at the base of the plant. This hardy and robust variety is well-suited to temperate climates and thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Lupin Westcountry is not only beautiful but also beneficial for the garden, as it can improve soil fertility by fixing nitrogen.

Perfect for cottage gardens, mixed borders, and as a cut flower, the Lupin Westcountry blooms from late spring to early summer, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. With its impressive height and vivid colors, this lupin variety adds vertical interest and a splash of cheer to any garden landscape. Regular deadheading of spent blooms encourages further flowering and extends the blooming season.
