Legal Discler ---------------- Legal Discler Legal Discler All s are sent in 1-litre pots and are therefore need to be grown in the ground for some time before they establish and are mature enough to flower. s always do better in the ground than in pots. All have good root systems ready to be ed out unless otherwise stated. Bulbs and some s may be dormant or dying back depending on the time of receipt. Bulbs and corm numbers may vary in pots but usually, it is only ONE BULB per pot. Some s need to be cut back to send out but should re-flower once ed out, therefore, they are NOT ALWAYS SUITABLE AS GIFTS. We are offering a wide selection of s for gardeners. From September to March many s may have been previously split and re-potted so please be aware of this when ordering or receiving them and DO NOT order unless you are happy with this. The picture gives the final flowering and is not always what you will receive as it depends on the time of year.

Sometimes s just do not like the conditions of a particular garden especially the soil and may not thrive. Never over-water. Stock can die, be eaten by voles or quickly develop disease. Some Lupins don't like certain soils.
