Lupine Russell Seeds Mix
Colorful lupines for pollinator appeal
Lupine Russell Seeds Mix produces tall, elegant flower spikes in a wide range of vibrant colors, making it a standout addition to cottage gardens, pollinator plantings, and mixed borders. These stately perennials thrive in full sun and well-draining soil, developing lush mounds of palmate foliage before sending up dramatic towers of blooms in late spring to early summer.
The Russell strain is known for its uniformity, vigorous growth, and rich color selection, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds throughout the flowering season. Gardeners appreciate how these lupines add vertical interest, texture, and bold color to garden designs while improving soil health through nitrogen fixation. They perform best in cool climates and benefit from mulching and regular moisture during early growth.
For more colorful flowering plants that complement lupines in layered garden designs, explore our Flower Seeds & Bulbs collection, where you’ll find annuals and perennials that pair beautifully with tall spiking varieties.

We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
