Lupinus ‘Cashmere Cream’

Description

The pale, creamy white flowers of Lupinus ‘Cashmere Cream’ are total perfection from late spring to early summer, particularly when mixed with fresh greens and blues. Ideal companions of Lupin ‘Cashmere Cream’ include Iris ‘Caesar’s Brother’, Alchemilla mollis, and Allium azureum. Throw in a few ornamental grasses such as Pennisetum and Panicum, and some clipped evergreen structure and you have yourself an elegant and tasteful designer border!

After enjoying the beauty of Lupinus ‘Cashmere Cream’ for a growing season, you’re likely to want to bulk up your collection. Thankfully, this is spectacularly easy to do! Simply snip a few new shoots in spring when they’re around 8cm tall and tuck them into a pot filled with gritty compost. Given warmth, light, and regular misting, your ‘Cashmere Cream’ lupines should root in a matter of weeks. Roots peeping out of the bottom of the pot are your cue to move them into individual containers (9cm is best) and grow on until they are big enough to plant outside.
