25 Seeds Red and White Lupine Perennial Hardy Flower

25 Red and White Lupine seeds produce stunning tall spires of bicolor blooms, with vibrant red and pure white petals creating a striking contrast in the garden. These hardy perennials return year after year, offering a low-maintenance way to add dramatic vertical interest to flower beds and borders.

Ideal for ornamental use, Lupine flowers are excellent for attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Their tall, showy spikes make spectacular cut flowers for fresh arrangements.
