Lupinus 'Manhattan Lights' (PBR)
west country lupin
Unusual mauve and yellow bi-coloured blooms are produced in late spring. This perennial lupin is ideal for growing at the middle or back of a garden border, or can be planted up for pots on the patio. Remember to deadhead 'Manhattan Lights' after flowering and protect against frost damage by covering the crown of the plant.
How to care for Lupinus Manhattan Lights (PBR):
Plant lupins in full sun with well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil, avoiding heavy clay. Water regularly while establishing, but once mature they become more tolerant to dry conditions.
Stake tall cultivated varieties with bamboo canes in spring before flowers appear, and remove faded blooms to encourage a second flush. Mulch lightly in winter to protect roots, and watch for slugs and snails on young growth.
