West Country Lupin ‘Beefeater’

West Country Lupin ‘Beefeater’ is an impressive perennial which comes back year after year.

Look forward to an impressive display of straight strong spires mid season, with this classic border perennial.

It bears striking pure red standards with slightly yellow flecks.

Deadhead to encourage a second flush of flowers and protect against frost damage by covering the crown of the plant. Protect young plants from slug, snail and lupin aphid attack.
