I find lupines to be gorgeous, but I just can't grow them here, not sure why. Lucky you!

It sounds like Lupine likes your climate. Several perennial books have warned me away from them because they are "fussy" and require a lot of care so I haven't tried them although I love the way they look.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16914703548887252991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-732676481099375924.post-23630204173348500012014-06-25T17:04:26.619-07:002014-06-25T17:04:26.619-07:00Lupins are really beautiful!
