Add Romantic Height with Lupin ‘Legendary Rose Shades’
Few plants add summer height and drama like the Lupin ‘Legendary Rose Shades’. This striking herbaceous perennial produces bold, upright spires of densely packed flowers in a range of romantic rose-pink tones. Each majestic flower spike rises above neat mounds of architectural, palmate blue-green foliage, creating a vibrant, feminine display from late spring right into the heart of summer. Its vertical form and soft yet bold palette bring a sense of elegance and timeless structure to any garden setting.
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 rose-coloured blooms or blended with other cottage-garden favorites like Foxgloves and Alliums, they add a seasonal richness and essential vertical lift to your borders.

At The Rose Press Garden, we love...
The romantic, "old-English" feel of rose-pink Lupins. There is something so magical about seeing these tall spires swaying in the breeze—they truly are the stars of the early summer border. We love providing these in 2L rootballs because they are substantial enough to give you that iconic height almost immediately, ensuring your garden feels lush, tall, and professionally designed from the moment they are planted.
