Care Guide
Good pest and disease resistance
Lupins can be affected by slugs
Water lightly
Water regularly in summer
Full sun to partial shade
Lupins prefer a sheltered spot with morning sun and some afternoon shade.
Most well-drained soils
Plant in well-drained soil. Lupins prefer neutral to alkaline soil and don't do well in clay or chalk.
Feeding not required
This is a low maintenance plant which gets all the nutrients it needs from the soil.
Prune lightly
Remove spent flowers to encourage new growth - leaving too many seeds may drain energy from the plant.
