Lupin ‘Festival’ (Lupinus polyphyllus)
Botanical Name: Lupinus polyphyllus
Type: Hardy Perennial

Lupin ‘Festival’ is a vibrant, compact variety of the classic cottage garden perennial, producing dense spires of richly coloured flowers in shades of pink, blue, yellow, red, and white. Blooming in early to midsummer, these stately plants add structure and colour to mixed borders while attracting bees and butterflies in abundance. The strong stems make them ideal for cutting, and their neat, upright habit suits smaller gardens and containers as well.
