Care
Give Lupine full sun and moderate water. Plan for a typical mature size of about 2–4 ft tall and 1–2 ft wide. Plant in suitable light and well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season, then adjust to the plant's needs. Remove tired growth when needed and divide crowded clumps where appropriate.
