Add a burst of sunshine and architectural height to your garden with Lupin 'Legendary Yellow'. This premium variety is celebrated for its exceptionally large, densely packed flower spikes in a vibrant, clear yellow. The blooms rise majestically above attractive, palm-shaped mid-green foliage, creating a classic cottage garden silhouette.
Lupins are a staple of the early summer border, providing dramatic vertical interest and a rich source of nectar for bees and other pollinators. These plants are supplied in established 1Ltr pots, which offer a significantly more robust root system and faster establishment than smaller plug plants. Whether planted in groups for a mass of colour or as individual highlights, 'Legendary Yellow' is a high-performance perennial that returns with more vigour each year.
