Lupinus (Bluebonnet)
at Digging Dog
Including Lupine varieties Chandelier, Noble Maiden, The Chatelaine, and The Governor
Lupinus
Lupine or Bluebonnet
Laden with tightset pealike blossoms, Lupine’s sweetly scented, 10 to 12 in. spikes tower above good-looking foliage. Radiating out, like the fingers of a hand, rich green leaves collect glistening beads of water with their silky hairs.
Developed by George Russell, an English plantsman, these stately, June blooming hybrids present one of the longest and most spectacular floral parades at that time. A lover of cool weather and moist, well drained soil, Bluebonnets detest hot, humid conditions, and look their best planted in groups. We cultivated the following Russell hybrids from seed.
Conjuring an incandescent, uplifting image, this Lupine’s dark blue-green foliage is brightened by luminous milky white and lemon-yellow columns of bloom.
Blooms May–June. Size: 3-1/4' high x 18"–2' wide; hardy to zone 4. Lupinus ‘Chandelier’ (P-1191)
Each $6.50
