Description

Lupinus 'Gallery Pink' is an alpine species with a bushy habit. From June to July, terminal spikes measuring 20 to 60cm (8 to 24in) long appear, composed of flowers similar to those of peas. The flowers are pink and white and measure 1 to 3cm (1in) long. It is an evergreen plant that spreads without becoming invasive.

At maturity, the plant reaches a height of 60cm (24in). It is very vigorous and resistant to diseases. It is native to the Mediterranean, North Africa, and all of America. This lupin has beautiful silvery foliage that brightens shaded areas. This foliage is deciduous and mainly composed of palmate basal leaves, divided into lanceolate leaflets, which are often slightly hairy on the underside.

Lupinus 'Gallery Pink' is a good ground cover. It grows in dry meadows, hills, open forests, coastal strips, cliffs, and riverbanks. It is an excellent plant for perennial borders and flower beds. It also thrives when planted individually.

Planting and care

Lupinus 'Gallery Pink' thrives in the sun, partial shade, and even under trees in spring. Plant it in light, well-draining, humus-bearing and moderately moist soil. It is an easy-to-grow perennial. Removing faded flowers will help it bloom again in autumn. Water generously. Pay attention to the leaves, which can sometimes be attacked by mildew and root rot (especially if the roots are dry). Lupins can be susceptible to leaf spots, galls, viruses, and attacks by snails and slugs.
