LUPINUS SILVER FLEECE

Description

Lupinus chamissonis has silver foliage but is often difficult to keep going. But by using it as a parent we have produced this lovely new silver-grey foliaged, creeping, cascading lupin, which is easy-to-grow, vigorous, hardy, and has gorgeous blue and white stumpy flower spikes.

Sowing Advice

For best results, sow immediately onto a good soil-based compost. Cover the seeds with fine grit or compost to approximately their own depth. They can be sown at any time, and germination can sometimes be quicker if kept at 15 to 20 degrees C. We sow most seeds in an unheated greenhouse and wait for natural germination, as many seeds have built-in dormancy mechanisms, often waiting for natural spring germination, hence giving them a full season of growth.
