Lupinus 'Russell Yellow'
Choose Russell Hybrid Lupine for fast, upright flower spikes in a mix of colors in a sunny perennial bed; the tradeoff is that lupines want decent moisture and are not the best long-term backbone plant.
Note: This is the classic Russell seed strain, grown as a mix. Flower colors vary plant to plant and can include blue, purple, pink, red, white, and bicolors. We cannot guarantee a specific color.
Buy This If
You want early color and are open to a mix of shades.
You want flowers all summer.
Your soil stays reasonably moist.
Skip This If
You need one specific flower color.
The site bakes dry.
You need winter structure.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
A-
The upright flower spikes read clearly from a distance, especially when planted in groups.
Growth Rate
A
It establishes quickly and gives a fast show when the site is right.
Maintenance
B-
It may need deadheading and better soil moisture than tougher dry-site perennials.
Deer Resistance
A-
Deer usually pass this by, since the foliage deters browsing, though no plant is completely immune where pressure is severe.
Small Space Fit
B
It fits well in a border, but the upright bloom spikes still need breathing room.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this where the customer wants a strong spring color moment, not where they need a permanent backbone plant. Because it is a seed-grown mix, plant several together and let the color range work in your favor.

Customers Usually Ask
What color will I get?
Russell hybrids are a mix, so colors vary by plant and are not selected or guaranteed.
Will deer eat it?
It has good deer resistance, though no flowering perennial is guaranteed untouched.
Does it work in containers?
Yes, for seasonal color, but steady watering matters more in pots.
Should I plant one or several?
Several usually look better because the flower spikes have more presence together.
Why Choose Perennials for Your Garden?
Return Year After Year: Perennials come back each season, reducing replanting costs while increasing garden maturity
Extended Seasonal Interest: With proper selection, you can enjoy continuous blooms from spring through fall.
Low Long-Term Maintenance: Once established, many perennials require minimal upkeep and become more resilient over time.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!

They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
