Heritage Perennial Profile Here's the complete description for this Heritage Perennial. Drop in any time to see the rest of our collection.  Plant Number: 1.330.530 USDA Zone: 4 - 9  Lupinus Woodfield Hybrids Common name :  Woodfield Hybrid Lupine The tall spires of Lupines are an unforgettable sight in the early summer border. Plants grow best in a deep, rich soil, slightly on the acidic side. This superior British strain produces flowers in nearly every shade of the rainbow, often with lovely bicolored blooms. As these are short-lived perennials, allow some plants to set seed. Reported to have improved resistance to the fungal problems that often kill tiny Lupine seedlings before they have a chance to grow. CAUTION: Harmful if eaten.

Aphids and powdery mildew are the banes of lupines' existence, but just prune the plants back to the ground if they begin to look under the weather; they'll quickly sprout healthy new growth. Where lupines fail to thrive, consider replacing them every two years.; Larry Hodgson, Perennials for Every Purpose
