Lupine – Russell White
$2.50 – $60.00
Growing in upright stalks of white, Russell Lupine makes a nice background for a planted flower arrangement. The 3-foot-tall spikes, which contain the flowers, bloom from late spring to early summer. This flower is native to eastern North America and enjoys full to partial sun with well-drained soils. For the best results, plant Russell Lupine directly outdoors, rather than trying to transplant.
*Most perennials will not bloom the first year they are planted. They establish a plant the first year and then bloom the second and every year after that. Annuals will give you color the first year you plant them and then can reseed themselves if they like where they are growing. This is why perennials tend to be more expensive. It takes twice as long to get seed off of the plant than an annual when initially planting.
