A small, somewhat frail young plant with coiled roots. I water it a lot, and it seems to appreciate it since it's producing leaves. It still has a long way to go, but I'll do my best to help it grow well and enjoy the pleasure of admiring its generous and colorful flowering.

Description

Lupinus 'Gallery Red' 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 pea-like flowers. The flowers are red-purple in colour and measure 1 to 3cm (1in) long. It is a perennial plant that spreads without being invasive.

It is native to the Mediterranean region, North Africa, and the Americas. 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. At maturity, the plant reaches a height of 60cm (24in). It is very vigorous and disease-resistant.

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

Planting and care

Lupinus 'Gallery Red' thrives in the sun, partial shade, and even under trees in spring. Place 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.
