Description
The 'Chandelier' lupin brightens up your flowerbeds, borders, and containers with its large spikes of yellow flowers that bloom in early summer. They are also excellent cut flowers. This perennial plant forms an opulent clump and its beautiful green leaves are deeply divided. Easy to grow and hardy, lupins thrive in any well-drained, non-calcareous garden soil in full sun. Sow in place between April and June.
The 'Chandelier' variety is part of the Russell lupine range, which are hybrids obtained by cross-breeding Lupinus polyphyllus, a perennial plant native to North America, and Lupinus hartwegii, an annual Mexican species. Some varieties were selected in the 1930s by a gardener named George Russell, a passionate Lupin enthusiast who gave his name to the range. Belonging to the Fabaceae family, these herbaceous perennial plants are appreciated for their robustness, floribundity, and ease of cultivation. 'Chandelier', a yellow-flowering cultivar, forms a bushy clump 90 cm tall when in flower and 60 to 75 cm wide. In June-July, it is covered with upright clusters of flowers, sometimes reaching a length of 50 cm. These spikes are densely filled with pea-like, 1 to 3 cm, butter-yellow, slightly fragrant flowers. The leaves are palmate, with a minimum of 5 leaflets radiating from the same petiole.
In the garden, the 'Chandelier' lupine is an essential plant for English and natural gardens. Its yellow flowering illuminates any flowerbed or container. It pairs particularly well with blue flowers, such as those of Geranium vivace Orion and Delphinium belladonna Ballkleid. If you prefer warm colours, consider Achillea Paprika with its red-orange flowers and Iris germanica Skyfire with its orange flowers.

Planting and care
Sow your Chandelier lupins in groups of 3 to 5 seeds directly in place from April to June. With their taproot, they do not tolerate transplanting well. Place them on well-worked and loosened soil, enriched with potting soil or compost, and cover them with 5 mm of substrate. The ideal temperature for germination should be between 16 and 20°C, and it usually takes 18 to 25 days. Thin out your seedlings, keeping only the strongest plant per group, and leave a distance of 30 to 40 cm between each plant. Beware of slugs, as they enjoy their young leaves. Flowering will only occur the following year. You can also sow in September-October.
Easy to grow lupins thrive in full sun or with light shade. Any good, well-drained, non-calcareous garden soil will suit them. They appreciate a rich, moist, well-drained, and neutral to acidic soil. Renew your perennial Lupins every 3 or 4 years.
Remove faded flowers to prolong flowering and prevent the seeds from self-sowing. Cut back the yellowed stems and leaves to ground level in autumn and provide a mulch of dead leaves or straw during winter.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
