Add a romantic, soft glow to your summer borders with Lupin 'Legendary Rose'. This premium perennial variety produces exceptionally tall and densely packed flower spikes in a beautiful shade of rose-pink. The vibrant towers of bloom stand proudly above a base of architectural, hand-shaped (palmate) green foliage.
As a staple of the classic British cottage garden, these Lupins offer fantastic vertical interest and structure. They are highly effective when planted in drifts or interspersed with other early-summer perennials. Supplied in 1Ltr pots, these plants are significantly more established and robust than standard garden centre plugs, ensuring they settle quickly and perform reliably in your garden. They are also a primary nectar source for bumblebees and butterflies.
