Add Stately Vertical Drama with Lupin ‘Legendary Blue Shades’

Few plants add summer height and drama like the Lupin ‘Legendary Blue Shades’. This striking herbaceous perennial produces bold, upright spires of densely packed flowers in serene yet powerful shades of deep blue and violet. Each majestic flower spike rises high above neat mounds of architectural, palmate blue-green foliage, creating a cool and sophisticated display from late spring right into the heart of summer. Its vertical form and rich, calming palette bring a sense of structure and timeless garden charm to any outdoor space.

Supplied as a large, well-rooted 2L plant grown in premium peat-free compost, these Lupins are established and ready to bloom strongly in their first summer. Their nectar-rich flowers are a favorite for bees and butterflies, making them as valuable for biodiversity as they are beautiful to behold. Whether mass-planted for bold drifts of indigo colour or blended with other cottage-garden favorites like Echinacea and Foxgloves, they add a seasonal richness and essential vertical lift to your borders.

At The Rose Press Garden, we love...
The "coolness" that blue Lupins bring to a sunny summer border. There is something so stately about 'Legendary Blue Shades'—it stands like a blue sentinel in the garden. We love providing these in 2L rootballs because they are substantial enough to give you that iconic, tall flower spire almost immediately, ensuring your garden feels lush, tall, and professionally designed from day one.
