The tall stands of Russell Hybrid lupines that are seen in English gardens
do not do well in the San Francisco bay area.  Glorious stands  of these flowers
are possible with these new varieties available at Annie’s Annuals.

This coastal variety can be gathered by seed and planted in the Fall.
We used to gather these seeds along the Mendocino coast and they were
planted in the meadow garden. This is not attractive to deer and copes
with wind and drought!
