About this plant
‘Gallery Yellow’ is a cheerful, compact lupin that produces tall, buttery yellow flower spikes in early summer. With a bushy, upright habit and richly green, deeply cut foliage, this variety brings a splash of sunshine to borders, containers, or pollinator gardens.

Planting guide
Plant in well-drained soil in a sunny position. Allow around 40cm spacing. Mulch in spring, deadhead faded flowers promptly, and keep an eye out for slugs on new growth.
Care tips
Deadhead to promote repeat blooms. Water in dry spells. Apply mulch to retain moisture and feed lightly in spring. Cut back after flowering for a tidy appearance.
Winter care
Cut back spent stems in autumn once foliage has died down. Mulch over the crown for winter protection, especially in colder areas.
