General information about Lupin (Lupinus):
Lupin (Lupinus) produce pea-like flowers on long racemes in a great variety of colours. It is a plant most people will be familiar with. Lupin likes a spot in the sun in slight acidic, well-draining soil. Most varieties of Lupin will do very well for a few years and then start to struggle. By cutting away the flowering stems after flowering, the plant will not waste energy producing seed. This will help the plant and you might also get a second flowering. Lupin is a must in the cottage and wild garden. Give Lupin some compost in spring. Nice combinations can be made with Yarrow (Achillea), Poppy (Papaver), Ox-eye Daisy (Leucanthemum) and Tree Mallow (Lavatera).
