Description

(WESTCOUNTRY™ 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 of the WESTCOUNTRY™ Series! WESTCOUNTRY™ 'Red Rum' Lupine presents a mass of sturdy upright flower spikes, reaching 24-36 inches tall. These sturdy blooms reveal a rosy red hue with a fleck of white. The bright green daisy looking foliage creates a mounding habit. These are not your traditional Lupine, as you will be amazed by the color spikes. Planted in full sun to part shade locations, WESTCOUNTRY™ 'Red Rum' blooms late May to early June. Lupine prefer to be grown in well drained and slightly acidic soil. Enjoy the flutter of butterflies and hummingbirds as they check out your 'Red Rum' Lupines. We recommend deadheading your Lupine for extended bloom time. Lupines make a great cut flower and are deer resistant.
