Lupine (Lupinus Polyphyllus The Governor) - This unique Governor Blue Lupine features a very appealing color combination. It is bi-color with intense blue and pure white. It establishes easily from Lupine seeds, and it will create a lovely drama for the perennial garden from late spring to early summer. The marine blue and white flowers cover tall spikes which tower above a sea of deep green foliage.
Plant the Governor Lupine in full sun and provide a rich well-drained soil. Lupine plants like their roots to remain cool, so it is a good idea to apply a 3 - 4 inch layer of mulch around the plants to help protect their roots from summer heat especially in hotter climates. Many gardeners soak the seed for 24 hours prior to planting.
