Description

Lupinus 'Masterpiece' lives up to its name with its vibrant, eye-catching display of deep purple blooms. This striking lupin variety produces tall, densely packed flower spikes that tower above its lush, palmate green foliage, adding height and drama to any garden. The unique colour combination creates a bold, artistic statement that will turn heads throughout early summer.

Lupinus 'Masterpiece' thrives in sunny or partially shaded spots with well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil. It’s ideal for the middle or back of borders, where its statuesque flower spikes add vertical interest and structure. For best results, prepare the soil with organic matter before planting and ensure it has adequate drainage to keep the roots healthy. Lupinus 'Masterpiece' is also a perfect plant for cottage-style or traditional mixed borders, bringing a bright splash of summer colour.

Pair Lupinus 'Masterpiece' with plants that complement its bold colours, such as blue delphiniums or purple salvias for a harmonious display. For a softer contrast, mix it with pale-coloured perennials like white or cream Echinacea, or ornamental grasses, which will allow the striking blooms to stand out. Its bright tones also look spectacular alongside other lupin varieties, creating a vibrant tapestry of colour in early summer. Lupinus 'Masterpiece' is not just a visual delight; it’s also a valuable plant for wildlife gardens. The tall flower spikes are rich in nectar, attracting bees and other pollinators. This variety is hardy and long-lasting, making it an excellent choice for naturalising. Its deep root system improves soil structure, and the plant will come back stronger each year, gradually forming impressive clumps that will fill out borders beautifully.

Though typically grown in borders, Lupinus 'Masterpiece' can also be planted in large, deep containers. Make sure the pot has good drainage and position it in a sunny spot for the best results. In a container, this lupin will create a stunning focal point, perfect for adding height and interest to patios or terraces. Regular feeding and watering will help ensure a healthy, long-lasting display.

Lupinus 'Masterpiece' is a true garden standout, with its vibrant colours, impressive form, and wildlife-friendly benefits. Ideal for creating bold, beautiful displays, it will reward you with years of stunning flowers.

The hues of lupins can intensify in more alkaline soils, creating an even more dramatic display.

Useful information

    • Soak the Lupinus 'Masterpiece' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting

    • Plant your bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost in spring and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors

    • Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed. Some varieties are a length of root which should be planted lengthways and shallowly (1-2cm deep).

    • Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
