Lupine ‘Mini Gallery Blue Bicolour’

Lupine ‘Mini Gallery Blue Bicolour’ (Lupinus polyphyllus ‘Mini Gallery Blue Bicolour’) is a dwarf perennial prized for its compact habit and striking bi-coloured flower spikes. From late spring into early summer, neat clumps of palmately divided, mid-green leaves give way to erect racemes of pea-like flowers in vivid sky-blue, tipped with crisp white. Thriving in full sun (with some afternoon shade in the hottest climates) and well-drained, neutral to slightly acidic soil, it brings architectural vertical accents to borders, cottage gardens, and cutting beds. Hardy in Canadian zones 3–8, this series resists wind and rain and provides long-lasting colour with minimal maintenance.
