A 2015 picture of a mixed perennial border that featured lupines blooming in late May and into June. Note this garden is on a slope that creates the good drainage that all lupines require or they easily rot after one season. ANDREW MESSINGER
West Country hybrid lupines, from left, Manhattan Lights, Tequila Flare and Blacksmith may be available at some garden outlets and by mail from Proven Winners. All grow 24 to 36 inches tall. They cost about $19. The tractor is extra. ANDREW MESSINGER
A bicolored blue/white Woodfield hybrid lupine. The Woodfields replaced the Russells when the Russell strain was no long available as straight colors. Now it can be difficult to find any of the taller hybrids except in mixed colors. ANDREW MESSINGER
