Lupin 'Salmon Star'

Lupin ‘Salmon Star’ is a beautifully structured perennial that delivers eye-catching vertical accents to garden borders. With tall spires of soft salmon-pink blooms set against lush, palmate foliage, it’s a showstopper in any traditional or cottage-style planting scheme. Its flowers rise elegantly above the greenery, creating a layered, dynamic look in the landscape.

This hardy lupin thrives in full sun and performs best in well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil. Flowering from May through July, it complements early summer gardens and combines well with delphiniums, foxgloves, and hardy geraniums. Once established, it is relatively low-maintenance—deadheading spent blooms will encourage a possible second flush.

Perfect for pollinator-friendly gardens, Lupin ‘Salmon Star’ attracts bees and butterflies with its nectar-rich flowers. Its dramatic form and soft colour palette make it ideal for adding structure to borders or for creating a striking focal point in large containers. Use it to bring vertical interest and romantic charm to beds, borders, and wildflower-inspired plantings.

This perennial is ideal for gardeners seeking to add dramatic foliage and late-season colour to their landscapes. Its bold presence enhances shaded borders, woodland gardens, and areas near ponds or streams. Additionally, the vibrant flowers attract pollinators, contributing to garden biodiversity.
