Lupinus polyphyllus 'Russell Chandelier' is a striking and decorative perennial, known for its bright yellow, vertical flower clusters. This cultivar from the renowned Russell series combines vigorous growth with long-lasting blooms. The elegant, tall flower clusters can reach up to 120 cm and create a beautiful visual accent in borders, prairie gardens, and cutting gardens.
The intense yellow color of the flowers creates a sunny appearance and contrasts beautifully with other perennials such as blue-flowering Salvia, purple-flowering Digitalis, or white Campanula. Lupinus polyphyllus 'Russell Chandelier' also attracts beneficial insects such as bees, bumblebees, and butterflies, contributing to a biodiverse garden.

Flowering period: May – June, with the possibility of re-flowering after removing spent ears

In the first year, the plant forms a sturdy rosette of leaves. In the second year, the striking flower clusters appear, abundant with blooms that retain their bright color and vertical structure for a long time. This creates a strong visual impact, both in solitary plantings and in groups.
Lupinus polyphyllus 'Russell Chandelier' grows best in a sunny to lightly shaded spot in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. It does not tolerate heavy, wet soil well. The plant is winter-hardy and can remain in the border for several years.
Care tips:
Sow directly in open ground from March to June or start indoors in pots for later planting out.
Provide extra water during dry periods, especially in the first year.
Remove spent flowers to increase the chance of reblooming.
Old plants can be divided to maintain vitality and flowering.
An added benefit: this Lupine fixes nitrogen in the soil, which benefits other plants nearby.
The bright yellow Lupinus polyphyllus 'Russell Chandelier' is perfect for medium-to-tall borders, prairie gardens, and cutting gardens. Its vertical flower spikes create a beautiful contrast with shorter or blue/purple flowering plants. Ornamental grasses also provide an airy backdrop, making the clusters stand out even more.
