My Castle Red Russell Hybrid Lupine

Lupinus polyphyllus
In most lupine mixes the red shades are overshadowed by a preponderance of blues. The genetics of lupines are such that, as a patch crosses and self-sows, over time the blues will dominate. Now you can revitalize your patch with a new burst of red. Or, grown separately where they will not cross, you can maintain a solely red patch of these dense spikes with large flowers. Perennial, Zones 4-9. ~ 35 seeds/g. ③
