€8.50
Frequently Bought Together
Description
If you want that proper early-summer drama in the border, Lupin ‘Chandelier’ is a showstopper. Tall, candle-like spires rise above a mound of fresh green foliage, packed with soft, luminous blooms that feel like they’re lit from within. It’s the kind of plant that makes a bed look “designed” even if you’ve only popped in a few.
Perfect for cottage-garden borders, wildlife-friendly planting schemes, and anywhere you’d like height, colour and a little bit of theatre.

How to plant & care (Caragh Garden Notebook)
- Planting: Choose a bright, open spot and dig in a little compost to help it settle quickly.
- Watering: Water well after planting and during dry spells in the first season.
- Support: In exposed gardens, a discreet stake can help keep tall stems upright.
- Deadheading: Snip off spent flower spikes to encourage repeat flowering and keep the plant tidy.
- After flowering: Let the foliage feed the roots—this helps next year’s display.
Styling tip
Pair Lupin ‘Chandelier’ with airy grasses, roses, foxgloves, nepeta, or geraniums for that layered, romantic border look—soft around the edges, bold in the centre.
