DESCRIPTION

Lupinus WESTCOUNTRY™ 'Red Rum' is a stunning perennial lupine prized for its tall, dramatic spires of deep ruby-red flowers. This plant is a favorite among gardeners looking to add bold vertical accents and rich color to cottage gardens, mixed borders, or meadow plantings. It thrives in full sun with well-drained soil and regular moisture, and its striking blooms are excellent for cutting and attract pollinators like bees and hummingbirds. Lupines generally establish a deep root system, so plant them in a permanent location where they can show off their showy, late spring to early summer display.

PLANTING & CARE

Plant in full sun in well-drained soil. Water regularly to establish and during dry spells. Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring. Deadhead spent flower spikes to potentially encourage a second bloom and prevent excessive self-seeding. Cut back foliage after flowering if it becomes unsightly.
