It does not show up to well against my tan/brown mulch. Of course this succulent plant probably should not be mulched.<BR/><BR/>Now I am considering it for the steep sunny slope on the opposite side of the drive. It roots well as cuttings plugged into the ground and grew quickly in the late fall til it got too cold.Christopher C.

You and I both have that in our gardens... and the foliage is supposed to turn a lovely reddish color in the winter. Do you see that on yours? (I haven't been out to visit mine yet this year--it's in a temporary holding spot--so I can't attest to that.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395380166485303934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611983692965659884.post-7015431492691037702008-01-28T23:12:00.000-05:002008-01-28T23:12:00.000-05:00Lupine are hit-or-miss for me.

And the seeds can be very tough to germinate, which I'm getting tired of. <BR/><BR/>Grow lupine in your worst soil, and look for fragrant varieties. Because why not. <BR/><BR/>Alpine gardens are fascinating. Showy flowers, often physically designed to retain heat and give pollinators a warm place to rest. Mostly perennials because it takes too much energy tochuck b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00882763861745236443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611983692965659884.post-71026188357920258102008-01-28T12:17:00.000-05:002008-01-28T12:17:00.000-05:00Looks like a great trip!
