Proven Winners® Westcountry™ Masterpiece Lupine
The Proven Winners® Westcountry™ Masterpiece Lupine (Lupinus polyphyllus 'Masterpiece') is a stunning perennial with tall, spiky blooms in deep plummy-purple and fiery orange. This showstopper adds vibrant vertical interest to the garden, with fragrant, Pea-like flowers that attract pollinators from late spring to early summer.
Growing up to 3 feet tall and 2 feet wide, this hybrid Lupine forms a dense mound of deeply divided, palm-like foliage that remains lush throughout the season. As summer progresses, its eye-catching blooms give way to decorative seed pods, adding extended visual appeal. In autumn, the foliage may take on golden hues before dormancy.
Westcountry™ Masterpiece Lupine is a cold-hardy perennial, thriving in USDA zones 4-8. As a nitrogen-fixing plant, it enriches the soil while dazzling with color. Lupines are often associated with imagination and positivity, making them a symbolic addition to any garden. Preferring cooler summers, this variety is well-suited to northern climates and performs best in full sun with well-draining, slightly acidic soil.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Westcountry™ Masterpiece Lupine rebloom?
While it primarily blooms in late spring to early summer, deadheading spent flowers can encourage sporadic reblooming.
Is this Lupine deer-resistant?
Yes, deer and rabbits tend to avoid it due to its alkaloid content, making it a great choice for gardens with browsing wildlife.
Does it need staking?
Not usually! Its sturdy flower spikes typically stand tall on their own, but in very windy areas, light support may be beneficial.
