WESTCOUNTRY ‘Manhattan Lights’ Lupinus

You can expect this variety to reach a mature height of 24 to 36 inches. It maintains a compact spread of about 24 inches, making it a great choice for mid-border planting.

Yes, for the best performance and sturdy flower spikes, this plant prefers full sun, which means at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. It can tolerate partial shade, but you may see fewer blooms.

Yes, this variety is considered rabbit-resistant, which makes it a reliable choice for gardens where local wildlife tends to browse. However, no plant is entirely immune if food sources are scarce.

‘Manhattan Lights’ thrives in well-drained soil with a slightly acidic pH. It performs best in conditions ranging from dry to moderate moisture, so avoid planting it in areas that stay waterlogged.

The most effective way to extend the flowering season is to deadhead the spent spikes. Removing the faded blooms prevents the plant from putting energy into seed production and often encourages a secondary flush of flowers.

This Lupine is hardy in zones 4 through 9. As a native perennial, it is well-adapted to a wide range of climates and should return reliably each spring within those zones.
