This dwarf lupin produces densely packed spires of red, pea-like flowers in June and July above clumps of attractively lobed, mid-green leaves. Perfect towards the front of a sunny border and amongst other perrenials, promptly remove fading flower heads to promote a second flush of flowers in September.
Garden care: Deadhead the faded blooms to encourage a second flush of flowers. In autumn cover the crown of the plant to protect against frost damage.
Pets: TOXIC if eaten; Humans: Harmful if eaten
