Plant description
Flowering a little later than many other lupins, this striking bicoloured form is ideal for extending the season. An intense 'tutti-frutti' blend of warm yellow and apricot-orange, pea-like pea-like flowers rise imperially from the finger-like foliage. Give 'Gladiator' the thumbs up and weave it through a sunny mixed or hot colour-themed herbaceous border, where it will help add structural interest as well as vibrant colour.
