The 'Gallery' lupin mix is a compact and floriferous variety, ideal for adding vertical color to flowerbeds. It offers a superb assortment of flowers in various shades —dark blue, red, pink, yellow, and white—borne on dense, elegant spikes. The plants reach approximately 50 to 60 cm in height , with a well-balanced habit that is perfectly suited to residential gardens. The summer blooms are eye-catching and add elegant structure to borders.
Hardy and vigorous, the 'Gallery' lupin thrives particularly well in cooler climates . Like all legumes, it helps regenerate the soil by fixing nitrogen, making it an excellent choice for sustainable gardens. Grown in a group as a specimen plant or in the background of perennials, it provides a beautiful visual impact and can also be used for cut flowers . Deadheading spent blooms encourages a second flush of flowers in autumn and prolongs the plant's vigor.

Cultivation method:
Lupins benefit greatly from cold treatment . It is recommended to vernalize the seeds for 8 to 10 weeks at a temperature below 7°C , which significantly improves the uniformity and number of flower stems.
For indoor sowing, sow approximately 6 weeks before planting out in the garden , at a temperature of 15 to 20°C . Use a well-drained and porous seed-starting mix to avoid excess moisture.
Direct sowing outdoors is also possible after the last frost .
In the garden, plant lupins in rich, organic, slightly acidic, and well-drained soil . Lupins prefer consistently moist soil, but not waterlogged conditions. Grow them in full sun or light partial shade . Mulching around the plants helps retain soil moisture, protects the roots in winter, and promotes longevity.
Maintenance and longevity:
Regularly removing faded flowers prevents self-seeding, which can sometimes be invasive, and encourages a second flowering in the fall . Lupins have an average lifespan of 3 to 4 years . In regions with very hot summers, their growth may be more difficult.
