My in-laws brought back a pack of Russell Hybrid Lupines from their trip to Canada last year. I planted them in the fall. The leaves came up this Spring / Summer but no flowers and now the leaves look terrible! What's wrong with them? Some of them are crunchy like they're dry but some have this red on them. Is that rust? Does the no-blooming mean they won't bloom next year either? Should I pull them out and dissappoint my in-laws! They look ugly and are taking up space in the front flower bed but if they'll recover, I'll leave them. Thanks for your help! I'm in Ohio so maybe the weather is just not conducive.
