Lupinus 'Masterpiece' (PBR)
west country lupin
Appearing in glorious, chunky spires, which rise above mounds of attractively divided, brigh green leaves, the orange-flecked, purple flowers add lavish colour to borders and pots from late spring to midsummer.
Sought after by designers, Lupinus 'Masterpiece' (PBR) is also incredibly useful for adding structure and form when paired with plants that have a softer silhouette. Brining definition and solidity that holds the eye, they create striking focal points, while seemlessly tying in a sea of diaphanous mounds.
Lupinus 'Masterpiece' (PBR) can be used in borders and pots, and also makes a marvellous cut flower, often lasting a week or so in the vase.

How to care for Lupinus Masterpiece (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.
