Lupin 'West Country Blacksmith'
Stunning spikes of bi-coloured deep purple and white flowers, held above sage green leaves, are produced year after year. Good plant for large patio containers, or plant into any good garden soil, avoiding wet areas. Best in positions that offer either full sun all day, or a mix of sun and shade throughout the day. The removal of spent flower spikes will encourage repeat flowering. This plant dies down in winter to regrow in spring. Trim away old foliage and flower stems in spring, and feed with a good, general fertiliser.
Plant Care
Keep well watered until firmly established, feed with a good liquid fertiliser every two weeks in the flowering season.

Soak plant thoroughly in its pot before planting and dig a hole large enough to accomodate the root ball. Ensure the surrounding soil and top of the root ball are at the same level. Fill around the root ball with soil mixed with good planting compost and a suitable fertiliser. Firm in well and water generously.
