Description
The 'The Châtelaine' Russel lupin offers large upright spikes of bi-coloured, pink and white flowers at the beginning of summer. This perennial plant grows in clumps to make a sensation in your borders, beds, and containers. It also produces excellent cut flowers. Its lush foliage is deeply divided and a beautiful deep green. The easy and hardy Russell Lupins thrive in any well-drained, non-alkaline garden soil and in full sun. Sow in place in spring.
The 'The Châtelaine' variety is part of the Russell Lupin range, which are hybrids obtained by cross-breeding Lupinus polyphyllus, a perennial plant native to North America, and Lupinus hartwegii, an annual Mexican species. Some varieties were selected in the 1930s by a gardener named George Russell, a passionate Lupin enthusiast who gave his name to the range. From the Fabaceae family, these herbaceous perennials are appreciated for their robustness, floriferousness, and ease of cultivation. The Russell Lupin 'The Châtelaine' forms a beautiful, 90 cm tall bush when in flower, 60 to 75 cm wide. Its green leaves are palmate. In June-July, large upright flower clusters up to 50 cm long bloom. These spikes are densely filled with pea-like, 1 to 3 cm, pink and white flowers. It is worth noting that the flowers are slightly fragrant.
It is very easy to find a place in the garden for a 'The Châtelaine' lupin. With its pastel-toned flowers, this perennial plant will integrate perfectly into a romantic bed. Here is a selection of plants that will complement your lupin: Delphinium Guardian White with double white flowers, Buenos Aires verbena with purple flowers, and black-flowered hollyhock to add dimension to the overall composition. Lighten the arrangement with a grass, like Panicum virgatum Purple Breeze.

Planting and care
Sow your 'The Châtelaine' lupins in groups of 3 to 5 seeds directly in place from April to June. With their taproot, they do not tolerate transplantation well. Sow them in well-prepared and loosened soil, enriched with potting soil or compost, and cover them with 5 mm of substrate. The ideal temperature for germination should be between 16 and 20°C, and it usually takes 18 to 25 days. Thin out your seedlings, keeping only the strongest plant in each group, and leave a distance of 30 to 40 cm between each plant. Be careful of slugs that enjoy their young leaves. Flowering will only occur the following year. You can also sow in September-October.
Lupins are easy to grow and thrive in full sun or with light shade, especially in the south. Any good, well-drained, non-calcareous garden soil will suit them. They appreciate a rich, moist, well-drained, and preferably neutral to acidic soil. Renew your perennial lupins every 3 or 4 years.
Remove faded flowers as they appear to prolong flowering and prevent the seeds from naturally self-sowing. Cut back yellowed stems and leaves to the ground in autumn and provide a mulch of dead leaves or straw during winter.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
