Gallery Red Lupine
A red lupine plant features tall spikes of rich, sweet-pea-like red flowers above attractive, palmate green foliage, attracting hummingbirds and butterflies, and is a hardy perennial (Zones 4-9) that thrives in full sun to part shade, well-drained, sandy/loamy soil, and cooler climates, with popular varieties like 'Gallery Red' offering low maintenance and deer resistance, perfect for borders, containers, and mass plantings.
The lupine flower, also known as bluebonnet, may look like a wildflower, but it is a fast-growing legume in the pea family that just happens to have a tall, showy spire of colorful blooms that are typically purple, but can also be blue, white, or yellow. You can expect flowers for about 3 months, from spring through mid summer.
