Lupine Westcountry™ 'Blacksmith' 2 Gallon

Lupinus polyphyllus
A stronger, bolder rendition of the cottage garden classic from Westcountry Nurseries, 'Blacksmith' Lupine is an extraordinary hybrid that produces a fantastic display of tall, showy flower spikes in late spring to early summer. The big, bold, bicolor purple and white, fragrant pea-like blooms emerge from lush, light green to gray-green, compound palmate foliage to make a huge impact in the garden or containers, and they serve as excellent cut flowers. Combines well with Creeping Phlox, Columbine, and Russian Sage. Plant in cool, well-drained, slightly acidic, deeply amended soil. Water well after planting; maintain 1 inch of water once a week the first year. Deadhead flowers to induce branching and additional buds and blooms. Fertilize in early spring and mid-summer with an acidic fertilizer. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2 inches to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature.
