Lupinus 'Minarette'

Good evening all! Remember those free #lupin plants I got from J Parkers that I was moaning about a couple of weeks ago? Well it's amazing what a bit of TLC can do isn't it? Enjoy your evening! 😀

Oh, swipe left to see what they looked like when I got them!

They look wonderful in such a short time.

@novicegardenlover - Thanks Susan! I'm quite surprised at how well they've recovered, although they did have good root systems on most of the plants! 😀

👏👏👏👍

It looks like the tlc worked Ian 💚👍

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

@suerichards - Thanks Sue! 😀

@pelly - Yes Jane, I'm very pleased with their progress! 😀

@rachelbrooks - Thank you Rachel! 😀

Mine were the same Ian but they e picked up lovely now too 👍

@juliesgarden - That's great news Julie, just wish they'd been in better condition when they arrived! 😀

Good afternoon all! A morning in the potting shed for me, clearing it out and potting up these #lupin plugs! Not the best quality, but they were free with an order of summer bulbs from J Parkers! 😀

👍🏻😉

@telswirld - 😀

Just received mind and thought exactly the same. Not great quality but hey, they were free ☺️

@TeresaH - Yes Teresa, that's the best way to think about it! Can't really turn your nose up at free stuff! At least they all had pretty good root systems so maybe they'll get stronger than they look at the moment! 😀

Always worth shot

I'm sure that with a bit of tlc they'll be fine 👍👍

@kathy @pelly - I'm sure I'll be able to nurse a few of them through to flowering! 😀

Tough plants

@kathy - As long as the slugs and snails don't find them before they get a bit sturdier! 😀

I got these too Ian free from parkers with my order of trailing begonias, waiting for those...your lupins look slightly stronger than mine do..but they are surviving so fingers crossed @bigemrg

I bet they’ll thrive. I had 12 free fuschias from them a couple of years ago as plugs, come the summer they were fantastic!
