Lupin ‘Russell Strain – Crown Mixed’
Approx. 40 seeds.
A classic cottage‑garden favourite, ‘Russell Strain – Crown Mixed’ delivers tall, elegant spires in a beautifully varied colour range — from soft two‑tone pastels to striking bi‑colours. These lupins bring height, structure and a burst of early‑summer colour to borders in May and June, and a mass planting glowing in low morning light is one of the season’s great pleasures.
Growing lupins from seed is both rewarding and far more cost‑effective than buying established plants. This mix gives you a generous spread of colours and strong, reliable plants that return year after year. Ideal for cottage gardens, mixed borders and wildlife‑friendly planting, with flowers that are always busy with bees.
