Mini Gallery™ Red Lupine

Mini Gallery Red is a compact, upright lupine with red flower spikes above green foliage. Proven Winners lists a mature height of 14–16 inches, a spread of 7–9 inches, zones 4a–8b, and flowering in spring and summer, with early summer as its main bloom period. [Mini Gallery Red](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/lupinus/mini-gallery-red-lupine-lupinus-polyphyllus) ## Garden Use Its narrow spread fits the front of a border, a mass planting, or a cut-flower bed where upright color is wanted without a broad clump. Proven Winners notes that the flowers attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. ## Growing Use full sun to part sun and fertile soil with good drainage. North Carolina State Extension recommends consistent moisture and light afternoon shade in hot summer areas; heat and humidity may shorten lupines’ life as perennials.

Mulch to keep roots cool and deadhead faded spikes to encourage another flush.
