Russell Lupine Mix Lupinus polyphyllus 100 Seeds

Russell Lupine Mix (Lupinus polyphyllus) is a perennial plant prized for its tall, colorful spires of pea-like flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer. Originating from North America, this lupine variety was developed in England by George Russell in the early 20th century, resulting in a hybrid mix that showcases a wide range of colors including shades of blue, purple, pink, red, yellow, and white. The plant forms dense clumps of palmate, deep green leaves that create a lush backdrop for the flower spikes, which can reach up to 3 to 4 feet in height. Russell Lupines thrive in full sun to partial shade and prefer cool, moist, well-drained soils rich in organic matter. They are excellent for borders, cottage gardens, and naturalized areas, adding vertical structure and vibrant color to the landscape. Beyond their ornamental value, they attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, making them a beneficial addition to pollinator gardens. Hardy in USDA zones 4–8, Russell Lupine Mix combines elegance, resilience, and ecological value, making it a beloved choice for gardeners seeking dramatic, long-lasting blooms.
