{"product_id":"col-9x6-lup-colx1","title":"Lupinus polyphyllus (Lupin) – Mixed Colour Hardy Perennial (12 x 9cm Pots)","description":"\u003cp\u003eLupins are a classic cottage garden perennial, with tall, densely packed flower spikes in a mix of colours every summer. This collection brings you 12 Lupinus polyphyllus hybrid plants, each growing in its own 9cm pot, ready to grow on or plant straight into your borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLupins are clump-forming perennials with bold, hand-shaped green leaves, and they return year after year. They suit informal cottage borders and more structured planting schemes, and the flower spikes make excellent cut flowers. The exact colours within the mix will vary, giving a varied and complementary display across the flowering season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plants arrive well rooted and ready to be potted on or planted into their final position. Plant in full sun or partial shade in well-drained soil. Lupins are hardy and stay outside all year, but they dislike heavy soil that sits wet through winter. They also grow well in a large patio container.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeadhead spent spikes promptly to encourage a second flush of flowers, and cut back the foliage in autumn once it has died back. A mulch around the base in late autumn helps protect the roots over winter. Lupins are short lived and usually need replacing after three or four years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lupin, Lupine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lupinus polyphyllus hybrids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEventually Reaches:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50-180cm tall and 30-90cm wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, clump-forming perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cottage gardens, borders, cut flower gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep green, palmate (hand-shaped) leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Summer, with a possible second flush if deadheaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mixed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained soil; dislikes heavy, waterlogged conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardy herbaceous perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KOKE House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54061543981322,"sku":"COL-9X6-LUP-COLX1","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/2479\/8218\/files\/5_6c264f6f-a069-40d0-bb6b-21da3d9d2e75.png?v=1793895403","url":"https:\/\/kokehouse.co.uk\/products\/col-9x6-lup-colx1","provider":"KOKE House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
