Russell Lupine Chandelier lights up the garden with tall, majestic spires of butter yellow blooms that make a soft, elegant statement. Surprisingly, this shade of yellow is not often seen in the garden, but offers the landscape design a much needed restful focal point while still providing more depth than stark white flowers. Chandelier thrives in full sun and adds height and color to early summer displays.
