Hardy, long-lived, and easy-to-maintain perennial.Includes white, pink, violet-blue, red, yellow, peach, and bicolors. Sweetly scented blooms. Plants produce multiple blooms with stiff and straight stems. In our trials, these first-year flowering plants bloomed in early July in the first year and about a month earlier, (early June) from well-established plants in the second year. Bloom quality and productivity were better in the second season, although all plants did produce flowers in the first season. Performs best where summers are cool. Attracts and provides a food source for bees and hummingbirds. 1–2' blooms/spikes are densely covered with ½" pea-like flowers. Lupin is typically resistant to deer and rabbits.
