Lupinus polyphyllus

'Popsicle Blue' Lupine

Purchased at Bachman's

Spikes of pea like flowers rise above rich green compact foliage. An established clump will have several stems rising from a single base. Blooms in early summer. Rich, neutral to slightly acid well-drained soil. Remove faded blooms. Mulch around plant to keep roots cool.

I've planted it in a sunny spot right behind the bird bath.

Here's hoping.
