1/2 oz, 500+ seeds Russell Lupine Mixed Colors Lupinus Polyphyllus Russell Lupine (Lupinus Polyphyllus Russell Mix) For years, gardeners have been growing these perennials for a great source of vibrant late-spring to early summer color. The Russell lupine plants are vigorous with a spread of 12 – 16 inches wide, creating a bushy mat of bright green foliage beneath the bloom spikes. The mix includes shades of reds, pinks, blues, yellows, and whites in both solids and bi-colors. The flowers will attract attention from butterflies, hummingbirds and your neighbors! The plants prefer cooler climates. Where weather is hotter, provide some afternoon shade. Russell Lupine care is simply deadheading the faded flower spikes. They will self-sow if not trimmed back. Many gardeners soak the seed for 24 hours prior to planting.

Legumes build up nitrogen in the soil. Nitrogen is crucial for plant growth, flowers, and fruits. Legumes like lupin make nitrogen available in the soil for other plants that would not otherwise have access to the precious nitrogen. Due to its resilience, lupin has real potential as a cover crop for gardeners, farmers and growers.
