Plant Description
Lupin ‘Legendary Yellow Shades’ is a true ray of sunshine in the garden, with tall, elegant spires of soft buttery yellow that rise proudly above a bed of rich, healthy green leaves. There's a lovely, nostalgic charm to them—just the sort of plant you'd imagine growing beside a cottage gate or weaving through a summer border with delphiniums and old roses.
Once established, these are strong, reliable plants with a good, sturdy habit and handsome foliage that brings structure and beauty even when not in bloom. They’re happiest in a sunny spot, though a little afternoon shade won’t bother them, and they like well-drained soil, nothing too heavy or soggy.
Perfect for cottage borders, garden beds or dotted here and there in gentle clusters beside a pathway, these golden spires create a soft, natural look that feels right at home in any relaxed garden setting.
Wherever they grow, they bring warmth will quietly invite in bees and butterflies. With regular watering, a bit of deadheading to keep the blooms coming and a tidy cut-back after flowering, they’ll flourish beautifully. A little mulch in autumn helps them settle down for winter and come spring, they’ll rise again.
With just a touch of care, these lupins will reward you year after year with graceful, golden blooms and that timeless, storybook charm every garden deserves. We will sell these plants in the green, before flower initiation has started, so that they can be given the maximum chance of establishing once planted out in a border.
