Lupine (Lupinus polyphyllus) – Farbenpracht mit Struktur und Ausdruck

A family name that's worth seeing. The lupine belongs to the Fabaceae family. The magnificent flowering candles with their small butterfly-shaped flowers look particularly good in rural and natural gardens. This classic cottage garden plant also has soil-improving properties, as it enriches it with nitrogen.

Location requirements

Lupins require a sunny and sheltered location, but can also be planted in partial shade if necessary. They thrive in moderately nutrient-rich, light, deep, low-lime, and not overly wet soils. Two to four plants are needed per square meter.

Care

To encourage the lupine to rebloom, you should prune the plant immediately after flowering. In spring, it is recommended to water the perennial well and protect it from slug infestation. It is important to prevent the lupine from self-seeding, as the newly emerging plants would only produce blue, patchy flower clusters.
