Lupinus Gallery Blue
Gallery Blue Lupine
These spectacular, garden friendly dwarf hybrids of the famed Russell line are certain to fly off your benches with their vigorous growth, tight form and signature bloom. Emerging leaves form a compact mound of intriguing, blue-green, palmate foliage that tops itself with tight, pyramidal towers of big buds that open in mid-June, stretching nearly 12" above the foliage. The flowers are a breathtaking bluish-purple dotted white and last well into July with their butterfly attracting power. 'Gallery Blue' is mildew resistant and deer and rabbit resistant making it a joy to grow as long as you are providing it with plenty of sun and an area with deep, rich, moist, well-drained soil. Use them in a formal bed or in an area where they can be naturalized, because they'll look great anywhere in your landscape!
Growing & Maintenance Tips for Lupinus Gallery Blue
