Westcountry Masterpiece Lupine is a lush perennial that blooms from spring to early summer. It’s perfect for cutting. Of course, it can be left in the garden, too, where it attracts bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. The large, irresistible purple and magenta flowers are kissed with a touch of gold. These early blooming perennials get the garden show on its way for the season.
Westcountry ‘Masterpiece’ lupine (Lupinus polyphyllus) gets 24 to 36 inches tall with a 24 inch spread. It is deer and rabbit resistant and tolerates drought. Lupines bring an upright plant and unusual flower to the garden or a container. In a pot, use Westcountry Masterpiece lupine as a thriller. The green leaves also are attractive.
Westcountry Masterpiece Lupine Care
Lupines need very good drainage and slightly acidic soil. If your soil runs alkaline, consider adding a granular fertilizer labeled for acid-loving plants at planting time. Always read and follow the label directions. Some gardeners plant lupines in a slight mound to help with drainage. Grow Westcountry ‘Masterpiece’ in full sun. Although drought tolerant, lupines do much better when provided with consistent water, especially during hot, dry periods. Remove spent flowers (deadhead) to extend the perennial’s bloom time. When it’s done blooming, cut back to about 6 inches from the ground.
Lupines are short-lived perennials, so plant a few every year to ensure you have these great plants for your garden and for cutting. Lupines are a staple in the cutting garden for early summer bouquets. Allow good air circulation around the plants to reduce the chance of powdery mildew. Also keep an eye open for aphids, which sometimes show up on the flower buds before the open. A good spray from the hose should knock the aphids off of the plant. All parts of the plant are poisonous if ingested.
Westcountry Masterpiece Lupine Spacing
In the landscape, space about 24 inches apart. For the best show, plant in clusters of three to five plants. In a container, use the plant as a spring thriller.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
