The Lupin 'Les Pages' is a variety of lupin that has been around for a long time, and is appreciated both in bouquets and in large flower beds. Its tall inflorescences punctuate and structure the decor, attracting attention with their bright carmine red color. It is a robust, spectacular plant that produces numerous flower spikes in June-July and forms beautiful bushy clumps with deeply divided, bright green leaves. Russell lupins do not tolerate limestone, but they are perfectly hardy and thrive well in ordinary soil, even if it is clayey and heavy.
Â
It is commonly believed that Russell lupins are hybrids obtained by cross-breeding Lupinus polyphyllus, a perennial plant native to North America, and Lupinus hartwegii, an annual Mexican species. The best of them were patiently selected in the 1930s by a gardener named George Russell, who was passionate about lupins. Since then, other enthusiasts have taken over and dedicated themselves to obtaining robust and floriferous varieties. 'Les Pages' is a herbaceous perennial plant whose lifespan generally does not exceed 4 or 5 years. Bushy and vigorous, it quickly forms clumps that are at least 1m (3ft) tall when in flower and 60cm (24in) wide. In late spring and early summer, in June-July, it displays lush spikes, sometimes reaching 50cm (20in) in length, with a slightly stiff but remarkably graphic appearance, densely filled with pea-like flowers measuring 1 to 3cm (0 to 1in) in a rich and deep red color. Note that the flowers are pleasantly fragrant. The lush and opulent bright green foliage is distinguished from that of other legumes by its palmate leaves, with a minimum of 5 leaflets radiating from the same petiole. The fruits resemble flat, silky pods, often flattened and narrowed between the seeds.
Â
Hybrid lupins are plants with a very good hardiness, they spread without aggression, enrich the soil they inhabit, and are resistant to diseases. Their only weakness is their attractiveness to slugs and snails, which need to be protected against. Perfect for poor and light soils, but devoid of limestone, perennial lupins thrive willingly on fresh slopes and easily self-seed in suitable gardens, providing a profusion of often fragrant spikes in rainbow colors. Soften their slightly stiff silhouettes with plants with light foliage, such as fennel, or with rounded curves like roses and oriental poppies, in matching colors. They enjoy the company of foxgloves, grasses, and herbaceous peonies, forming beautiful low-maintenance flower beds.

The Lupin 'Les Pages' thrives in the sun, in partial shade, and even under trees in spring. Place it in a light, well-drained, humus-rich, and limestone-free soil. Its preference is for a deep, sandy, slightly acidic soil, and full sun. It is an easy-to-grow perennial that even adapts to clay soils if properly amended. Protect the plant at the base in regions with harsh winters. Remove faded flowers, and the Lupin will bloom again in autumn. Keep the soil moist, especially during prolonged drought. Be wary of leaves that are sometimes attacked by mildew and root rot (especially if the roots are dry). Lupins can be prone to leaf spots, galls, viruses, and their young shoots are often attacked by snails and slugs during the start of vegetation.
Lupins only live for 4 or 5 years. Keep some seeds to obtain surprising flowering in unique colors.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
