Lupinus, Lupin, Lupine 'The Governor'

I'm very fond of these, they first bloom in late spring/early summer when the roses haven't quite started and the bulbs are finished, and...Read More they keep blooming until the heat of summer. Very fast growth fills up gaps in the garden with 4' of elegant and unique leaves but dies back to make room for daisies later on. The buds are beautiful and the full flower can be 18" tall. Quite a statement for a blue flower.

These seeds were wintersown. Lupines have long tap roots. Therefore, planting out in the garden was done in early Spring.
