  • Why we like this plant

    Lupin 'Gallery Blue' adds a punch of vibrant colour and architectural shape to your early summer garden. Shorter than traditional lupins but just as dramatic, it’s perfect for urban plots or compact spaces where taller varieties might flop. Its deep blue flowers attract pollinators in droves, and its neat clump of foliage keeps your borders looking fresh and structured even when it's not in bloom.

  • About this plant

    ‘Gallery Blue’ is a compact, herbaceous perennial lupin that brings bold, vertical drama to garden borders. It produces tall spires densely packed with rich indigo-blue pea-like flowers in early to midsummer, rising above lush, deeply divided green foliage. Bred for a shorter, sturdier habit, it’s perfect for smaller gardens or front-of-border planting, and it’s a magnet for bees and butterflies.

Planting guide

Plant in spring or autumn in well-drained soil. Space plants about 40cm apart. Protect young shoots from slugs and deadhead spent spikes to encourage a second flush.

Care tips

Deadhead to prolong flowering. Cut back after flowering to encourage new growth. Mulch annually. Protect from slugs and snails.

Winter care

Dies back in winter; cut down spent stems in autumn and mulch to protect the crown in colder areas.
