Lupinus polyphyllus Mix
Lupinus polyphyllus Mix
Designing a colorful, dynamic floral display within a small space can be challenging for some gardeners. The trick is to aim high. For plants that provides vertical interest and bold color without taking up a lot of real estate, you can't go wrong with this glorious Lupinus polyphyllus mix. Upright racemes are covered in blooms of white, blue, pink, yellow or red in late spring to early summer. Plant in masses for a highly memorable display in full sun borders, mixed cutting beds or butterfly gardens. Lupinus polyphyllus perennializes beautifully, dependably reappearing year after year in greater numbers. Once established, they are drought-tolerant and very prolific bloomers.

Gorgeous!
The bare roots were robust and grew vigorously. A month later, stunning! The only reason for 4 stars is the Lupinus are purple and not a color mix, as shown. Nevertheless, they are beautiful and dense in the way I planted (look like the photo except purple). I always search for bare roots, tubers, bulbs instead of plants because I believe they are stronger and grow better, which I always can find from K. van Bourgondien. I strongly recommend.
Only purple color but,
I ordered two sets expecting to get Lupines much like our native ones. Although I didn't get the other colors they all bloomed and were huge. I will keep buying them.
3 out of 15 were successful
I purchased 3 sets of 5 mixed lupine, only 3 little plants came up. Very disappointed, I would not suggest purchasing these.

Thank you for writing a review for the Lupinus Polyphyllus Mix. We are sorry to hear that these plants failed to grow to your satisfaction. Fortunately, this is covered under our No-Risk Guarantee. One of our Customer Care agents will be reaching out to you soon with a positive resolution.
Healthy roots sprouted quickly
I ordered this mix and planted appropriately in a mulch covered mound of soil and compost. All five roots looked healthy, with new growth showing on arrival. After 10 days I have green leaves on each. We've had a healthy amount of rain, which I am sure has helped. As of now it appears each plant is healthy. I look forward to seeing what colors I have received.
Spring bulbs and others
I have ordered from your company for years. Your bulbs have performed well and lasted for years in my acidic soil. They are also of good size and are always vigorous. I also have ordered your Glad and they come up every year without lifting them. I do mulch them well, though.
Very disappointed
Terrible experience. Ordered early, received 3 plants (so small, not worth planting). Received second order, very small plants and they charged me again. The price was over $20.00. Plants are so small, not sure they will make it thru Wisconsin winters. Very disappointed. I tried contacting, with no luck. Feel we should have not been billed twice. Will not order with this company anymore. Always seems to be a problem. I really love lupines.

I was exited to see the other bulbs which is looks healthy and the bulb food is in the individual pack but my 2 bags of lupine sits said on the plastic pack that 5 PCs. Lupine but one bag is only 3 pcs.? What happened? It's me first time to order to this company and I hope that my eye catcher amaryllis which is 8bags will arrived soon and counts of the bulb each bag is correct. I'll post my lupine n other bulbs as soon as they will grow.
