Lupine Seeds - Chatelaine

~25 Lupine Seeds

A hardy, long-lived perennial, Lupine – Chatelaine is part of the renowned Russell Hybrids Band of Nobles series.

It's sweetly scented, bicolour blooms feature soft pink petals accented with crisp white, creating a striking vertical display.

Each plant produces multiple flower spikes on sturdy, upright stems, with blooms densely packed with ½" pea-like flowers. In our trials, first-year plants began flowering in early July, while well-established plants in their second year bloomed about a month earlier, in early June, with even better bloom quality and abundance. 

Thriving best in areas with cool summers, this variety is a magnet for bees and hummingbirds, while typically avoiding damage from deer and rabbits. Blooms reach 1–2 feet tall and provide long-lasting garden interest.
