How to take care of Russell Hybrid Lupine Blue P9
Russell Hybrid Lupine Blue are semi evergreen herbaceous perennials that need to be planted in a sunny sheltered location in well-drained slightly acidic soil. You can add some peat to your soil to make it more acidic. Soak plants on arrival for best results. Water regularly as the soil need to be kept moist, always water the soil around these plants rather than wetting the foliage and flowers this prevents them becoming infected by the powdery mildew fungus. Apply a light dressing of high potash fertiliser as the buds begin to emerge. They taller ones need staking for support. Remove dead flowers to avoid seeds setting.
