A fully frost-hardy perennial, it blooms from June and, when faded spikes are cut back, repeats flowering until autumn. Plants sown early bloom as soon as the first year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e up to 80 cm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFlower colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e white\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFlowering:\u003c\/strong\u003e June – September (most abundantly June – July)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePosition:\u003c\/strong\u003e sunny\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDirect sowing:\u003c\/strong\u003e March – June\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e well-drained, light, without waterlogging\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e easy – it only dislikes transplanting\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNumber of seeds per packet:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 80 (2.00 g)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eWhat makes this variety stand out\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRussell lupines are the result of several decades of selection by English breeder George Russell; Noblemaiden is the white variety in this group – the spikes are long (30–40 cm), densely covered with flowers, with a slight cream tint at the base. In full sun, the white almost glows, while the palmate leaves with drops of dew in their centres are ornamental in their own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike all lupines, Noblemaiden has a taproot and lives in symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, which allows it to grow well even in poor soils and enriches the soil itself. However, it does not tolerate transplanting – it is best sown directly in its permanent position. The variety is fully frost-hardy and, in good soil, lives for 4–6 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eGrowing step by step\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eSowing (March – June, outdoors):\u003c\/strong\u003e sow the large seeds directly in their permanent position, 3–4 cm deep, placing 2–3 seeds in spots 50–60 cm apart. Before sowing, it is worth soaking them for 12–24 hours in lukewarm water or lightly rubbing them with sandpaper – the hard seed coat delays germination. Seedlings emerge after 14–30 days. Sowing in March–April produces flowers in the same year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eThinning:\u003c\/strong\u003e when the seedlings have 2–3 true leaves, leave one, strongest plant in each spot.

Cut faded spikes just above the leaves – the plant will produce side flower heads and continue flowering until autumn. Tall spikes in a windy position are worth discreetly supporting. It does not need winter protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eUses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA staple plant for \u003cstrong\u003eperennial borders\u003c\/strong\u003e in English and cottage-garden styles, for \u003cstrong\u003egroups against a hedge\u003c\/strong\u003e or fence, and as a \u003cstrong\u003ecut flower\u003c\/strong\u003e (cut when the lower half of the spike has opened).

Contrary to popular belief, Russell lupines prefer slightly acidic to neutral, very well-drained soil.
