Description
The Governor Lupine is a striking perennial perfect for Massachusetts flower beds, borders, or containers. This compact hybrid produces thick, upright spikes of vivid marine blue and white flowers in late spring and early summer. Its bold colors make a big impression when planted en masse, and the blooms are excellent for cutting. The fine-textured, emerald-green foliage adds elegance and contrast in the garden.
In addition to its beauty, The Governor Lupine attracts hummingbirds and other pollinators to your landscape. Though it may self-seed, it’s a relatively low-maintenance plant and resists deer browsing. It prefers full sun and benefits from being trimmed back in fall. Whether you're creating a cottage garden or a pollinator-friendly border, this lupine brings both charm and structure.
Each plant comes in a #1 (1 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
