This Lupin is the star of my verge garden with its saturated deep pink colour. It thrives in our cooler summers here in Dunedin. Regular cutting will ensure continual blooms from spring right through to autumn. Plants may flower in the first year with one or two flowers but as with most perennials it will really bulk up in its second year and produce an abundance of strong stemmed blooms.
