Lupine Seeds - Russell Strain - Chatelaine

Low maintenance, summer blooming, attractive to pollinators, and tolerant to poor soil, there are few things to dislike about the regal Chatelaine variety of Russell Lupine. Tall spikes of rosy pink and white bi-colored blooms will reign over your garden throughout the summer. Ideal for wildflower planting or a more curated look, Russell Lupine Chatelaine is a robust and spectacular perennial.

*Seed scarification advised for lupine seeds (Nicking or scaring seeds with hard seed coatings before planting helps the seeds absorb water. After scarification, soak seeds in water overnight before planting. This will jump-start germination and get your garden growing faster.)
