Plant description
Spires of cerise flowers with white hoods are produced in late spring. This perennial lupin has a delicious peppery scent and is perfect for the middle of the border. It looks particularly lovely with flame coloured plants, such as Iris 'Garnet Robe'. Remember to deadhead after flowering and protect against frost damage by covering the crown of the plant.
