Lupine Staircase™ 'Pink Grapefruit' 2 Gallon

Lupinus polyphyllus

Lupine are an unforgettable sight and a wonderfully fragrant pollinator attractant in the late spring and early summer perennial border or sunny cottage garden. The long-lasting flowers of the Staircase™ series will re-bloom throughout the season until the nighttime temperatures rise above 72 degrees F. Tall spires of yellow and rose bicolor flowers appear on this variety which make for excellent cut flowers. Combine with Shasta daisies, Alliums, Heuchera, and Coreopsis. Plant in deep, well-drained, average to moist, slightly acidic soil amended with organic matter like compost or planting mix. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water, once a week the first year. Fertilize in spring and again in summer with a slow release fertilizer. Mulch 1-2" to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture. Cut or deadhead regularly to encourage new blooms. Divide in early spring when necessary.
