Lupins are great easy to grow perennials. Their bright colourful spires of flowers are hard to beat for summer colour. The dwarf varieties such as Gallery are easy to grow from seed and if you get sowing now you may get a good show this year. They are great for containers giving a good balance of flower height to foliage volume.
There is though more to lupins than flowers. The early fresh spring foliage traps beads of water in the centre of the leaves which sparkle in the morning sun.
