How to care for Lupinus Tequila Flame (PBR):
Stake with bamboo canes or other natural supports in spring before the flowers appear, and deadhead the faded blooms to encourage a second flush of flowers. Protect young plants from slug and snail damage, and cover the crown of the plant with an insulating layer of organic mulch in autumn to prevent frost damage.
Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
