$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Lupinus polyphyllus 'Pink and Yellow' produces tall flower spikes composed of soft pink blossoms accented by creamy yellow banners, blooming from late spring into early summer and bringing warm, blended color to the garden. Palmate leaves are composed of numerous narrow leaflets, forming a dense mound of blue-green foliage beneath the blooms. The flowers are packed closely along sturdy stems that attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators throughout the flowering season.

Originating from garden selections of a species native to western North America, this cultivar reflects breeding focused on distinctive coloration and ornamental display. It is well suited to cottage gardens, mixed borders, and pollinator plantings, where its colorful flower spikes contribute structure, texture, and seasonal interest.
