Lupins’ architectural flower spikes and their degree of colour saturation would be enough reason to grow them at any time of the year, but the fact that they flower reliably in the May/June gap, carrying the colour baton from the last of the tulips to the main flood of summer perennials, should shoot them straight up any priority list. With these new generation, West Country bred varieties, they flower for longer too. This amethyst purple is irresistible.
