Lupins

With their bold spikes packed full with bright and colourful blooms, lupins remain one of our most-loved cottage garden flowers.

Loved by bees and butterflies and wonderful for cutting.

Tough and easy to grow, lupins prefer well-drained soil and actually improve it by fixing nitrogen in their roots. Thriving in full sun or partial shade, cut back after their first flush of flowers in June and July for more, later in the summer.
