Planting and Care Guide

Planting Tips

Plant in moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil amended with compost. Space 18-24 inches apart. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch around the base.

Care Tips

Water consistently throughout the season. Deadhead spent spikes promptly to stimulate rebloom. West Country lupines are a more robust, longer-lived strain than older varieties. Allow some self-sowing to maintain the planting. Watch for aphids and slugs. Mulch to keep roots cool. The clear, bright yellow flower spikes of Desert Sun are warm and luminous, standing out beautifully against the dark green, palmate foliage.
