Fakel is a perennial lupine that features bright raceme inflorescences in red, white, and yellow colors. The plant reaches a height of 30–35 cm, and the inflorescences are 30–35 cm long. The leaves are palmate, growing on long petioles, which gives the bush a dense and decorative appearance.
This variety is perfect for decorating borders, rabatkas, and mixborders due to its durability under various growing conditions. Flowering begins in May and continues until September; if faded inflorescences are removed, the plant may show secondary flowering in August. To achieve maximum decorative effect, regular watering, weeding, soil loosening, and feeding with mineral fertilizers are required.
Sowing of Fakel is carried out in spring – from April to May or in winter. Seedlings are planted out in May at a distance of 20–30 cm from each other to avoid damage to the root system. With proper care, the plant maintains its decorative appeal throughout its entire multi-year life cycle.
