The lupin (Lupinus polyphyllus) is a spectacular perennial with tall, dense flower spikes in shades of blue, purple, pink, red and white. It flowers in early summer, providing a vertical focal point in beds and naturalistic gardens. Being a legume, it enriches the soil with nitrogen, and it prefers slightly acid, well-drained soils in full sun. The flowers attract bumblebees and bees, making them valuable for pollinators. The lupin is an imposing plant, a classic of English-style gardens.
