$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Lupinus hartwegii 'Legendary Rose Shades' produces tall flower spikes composed of deep rose-pink banners above soft blush-pink wings and keels, blooming from late spring into summer and filling the garden with layered color. The flowers are closely packed along upright stems, creating vertical accents that attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators throughout the flowering season.

Originating from a species native to Mexico, this cultivar reflects garden breeding focused on ornamental color and floriferous performance. It is well suited to cottage gardens, mixed borders, cutting gardens, and pollinator plantings, where its colorful flower spikes provide texture, height, and seasonal interest.
