20 Seeds Russell White Lupine Lupinus polyphyllus White Perennial Wildflower Cottage Pollinator Garden

Russell White Lupine is a perennial wildflower grown for its tall, upright spires of creamy white blooms that rise above clumps of palmately divided green foliage. A classic choice for cottage-style borders, meadow plantings, and mixed perennial beds, it brings vertical structure and a soft neutral tone that pairs well with nearly any color scheme.
The flower spikes open over a long season and are a favorite of bees and other pollinating insects, making this a useful addition to wildlife-friendly plantings. Plants perform best in cool climates with evenly moist, well-drained soil and can be naturalized in meadows or massed in borders for a striking drift of white. Allow spent stems to develop seed if self-sowing is desired, or deadhead to keep plants tidy.
