Description

(Westerncounty Lupines) Lupines have always been a great native perennial that fly off our shelves, I can't wait to see what customers think of the new color scheme coming in the WESTCOUNTRY™ Series! Lupine WESTCOUNTRY™ 'Blacksmith' presents a mass of sturdy upright flower spikes that reach 24-36 inches tall. These sturdy spikes feature blooms that as they open reveal royal purple and white petals. The bright green daisy looking foliage creates a mounding habit. These are not your traditional Lupine, these colors will amaze you. Planted in full sun to part shade locations, Lupine WESTCOUNTRY™ 'Blacksmith' blooms late May early June. Lupine prefer to be grown in well drained soil on a slightly acidic side. Enjoy the flutter of butterflies and hummingbirds as they check out your WESTCOUNTRY™ 'Blacksmith'. We recommend deadheading your Lupine for extended bloom time.
