Plant your Lupin out by April and enjoy the flowering period from May to July, when it will fill your garden with colour, and even attract butterflies! Once the flowers fade, you can deadhead the plant and you may be rewarded with a second round of blooms. The best time to cut back Lupins is October; and don't worry if they disappear at the end of autumn! Herbaceous perennials will die back in winter, only to come back to life and bloom again in spring after this winter dormancy period. Thanks to their height, they will benefit from a sheltered position, perhaps towards the back of a border, where they will reward your care with tall columns of bright summer flowers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100.088%;
