About This Plant
Lupinus poly 'The Chatelaine' (Lupine), 'The Chatelaine', is valued in PNW gardens for its character and seasonal interest.
Lupines have showy tall flower spikes in blue, purple, pink, white, or yellow. Many are pacific-northwest natives or near-native species.
Full sun suits this species. Plant in moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Hardy USDA Zone 4 to 8. Watch for aphids. Self-sow in happy sites. Some cultivars are short-lived.
For a Pacific Northwest native plant of similar character, consider Aquilegia formosa (Western Red Columbine), Holodiscus discolor (Oceanspray), or Mahonia aquifolium (Tall Oregon Grape) , all support native pollinators and birds.
