Lupin 'Salmon Star' – Lupin Plant – 5Ltr Pot

Elegant and architectural, Lupin 'Salmon Star' is a striking lupin plant that produces tall spires of soft salmon-pink flowers above lush green foliage. Perfect for cottage gardens, mixed borders, and pollinator-friendly planting schemes, this hardy perennial adds height, structure, and long-lasting seasonal colour to UK gardens.

Key Features

  • Stunning soft salmon-pink flower spikes for elegant summer colour
  • Tall, upright growth adds vertical structure and visual impact
  • Attractive lush palmate foliage creates texture throughout the season
  • Ideal for cottage gardens, mixed borders, and large patio containers
  • Nectar-rich blooms attract bees and butterflies
  • Hardy and easy to maintain once established

Product Description

Lupin 'Salmon Star' is a beautifully structured perennial renowned for its tall, elegant flower spires and romantic colour palette. The soft salmon-pink blooms rise above dense mounds of attractive deep green palmate foliage, creating a bold yet graceful feature in garden borders. Flowering from late spring into midsummer, this lupin brings vibrant colour and strong architectural form to traditional and contemporary planting schemes alike.

Ideal for creating height within mixed borders, Lupin 'Salmon Star' pairs wonderfully with classic cottage garden favourites such as delphiniums, foxgloves, and hardy geraniums. Its upright flower spikes provide excellent contrast against softer planting, while the nectar-rich blooms help support pollinators throughout the flowering season.

Thriving in a full sun position with well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil, this hardy perennial is relatively low maintenance once established. Deadheading spent blooms may encourage a second flush of flowers later in the season, extending its ornamental appeal even further.
