Lupinus X Russellii 'My Castle'
In stock
Description
The intense brick-red colour of this robust variety makes a real statement when planted in drifts, or dotted among other perennials to bring height and structure to summer borders and cottage garden planting schemes. The tall spires of tightly packed flowers rise above beautiful green clumps of palmate foliage. The flowers open from the bottom up making for a longer blooming period.
Sowing Advice
Soak seed overnight before sowing and germinate at 20 to 30°C (68 to 86°F) on the surface of good free-draining, damp seed compost. Apply a layer of compost or vermiculite, 3mm (1/8in) deep and place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag until after germination which usually takes 18 to 21 days. Thin out seedlings as they grow to 5cm apart. Plant out during September and October spacing 30cm apart for flowering throughout the following summer.
