Bring bold, upright flower spikes to your garden with Lupinus polyphyllus 'Westcountry™ Persian Slipper', a showy lupine that adds strong vertical structure in late spring into summer. You will get a clump of richly green, palmate leaves topped by dense, colorful blooms that make a striking statement in mixed borders and also cut beautifully for vases.

Plant it where it can enjoy full sun to part shade and soil that drains well. Lupines generally perform best in slightly acidic conditions and can struggle in heavy, wet soils, so giving them good drainage is one of the most important steps you can take for long-term success. Once established, keep the root zone evenly moist during active growth, then allow the soil surface to dry slightly between waterings.

At maturity, expect this perennial to reach about 24 to 36 inches tall, with a narrower footprint that works well among companion perennials. Deadhead spent flower spikes to keep the planting tidy and to encourage a longer season of bloom. Because lupines can be short-lived in some climates, letting plants set a little seed (if desired) can help maintain a presence in the garden over time.

Use it as a focal point in cottage-style plantings, a vertical accent in pollinator beds, or a standout in cutting gardens. Butterflies and hummingbirds are drawn to the blooms, so it pairs naturally with other nectar plants that share similar sun and drainage needs.
