I tried these years ago but don't remember what variety now. I got them from a mail order catalog in the spring and they did great until it started getting hot.

They were gone by early summer and never returned.. :( If there are some type of these that can handle the heat here, I'd love to know about them too!

I love lupines too. I can get them to bloom once, but it just seems too hot here for them. I read somewhere that they require some sandy soil...good drainage. Also, Wildseed Farms has a perennial lupin whose area extends down to Florida...I may order some of those. It looks like they only come in blue/purple. Would love to find other colors.
