Carolina Lupins

Has anyone grown Thermopsis villosa, the Carolina lupin? It is supposed to be totally hardy, tall and attractive to bees. I really fancy trying it from seed but don't know anyone who has ever grown it before. A bit of first hand knowledge would be welcomed please.

Look up the following sites for more info: http://b-and-t-world-seeds.com/cartall.asp?species=Thermopsis%20villosa&sref=2715 and http://larchcottage.co.uk/shop/Details.cfm?StockID=7337&GroupDescription=perennial&Alpha=T&pn=4&PageNum_qGetResults=4

Hope this helps

no,but it sounds interesting,I am madly trying to grow the common type in pots now as the slugs get them if i grow them in the border.But changing the subject,at the hospital near me they have a beautiful foxglove tree,amazing flowers on it when it blooms.
