Hi Charley...welcome to the forum. Sounds like you have Lupines on steroids. ![[Big Grin]](im/biggrin.gif)
Could you post a couple of pictures, particularly of the "sick" plants. They might help someone ID what is going on. I've never had the pleasure of growing Lupine but after doing some Googling, I may give it a shot. I had always been told our summers were too hot for them to survive.
Post back to this thread with pictures if you can.

justabloomer..
Lupines are just a spring plant.. They bloom and die off quite quickly, and come back with new foilage , soon.....Mine got reall ugly and I clipped them back.. They are looking nicely now.

Hey, TulsaRose, my digital camera is having problems but I do want to post pictures and will as soon as I can.
Dodge: I've seen lupine in the wild but have never grown any in my garden. Mine bloomed into late June and then stopped. I understand that they will die back, but I had two plants actually die. Unfortunately, I have no photos of them to show. Thanks for the help.

Justabloomer/Charley..
I'll be looking forward to pictures..
(I Love Lupines, but have never seen one 5 ft tall, they must look awesome)
And yes, pictures help immensely with "bugs or being sick"
Do you have any grub/beetle problem?"

As requested...pictures of my lupines on steroids.
My oldest daughter is 5'11" and my other daughter in the pictures (the blondie) is 4'0", just to give you some reference.
Not lupine-related picture, but kind of cute, anyhow. These are my boy/girl planters that my wife got for me.

Thanks weezie! To answer your questions, I fertilized them in the spring with ferti-lome flower grower and have not fed them since. The soil is 12 inches of top soil and mulch with hard packed clay underneath. Honestly, I have no idea why they have grown so big. But, I like it!
I tried growing some from seeds this year, also, but, they never grew after putting them in the ground. I lost most of them and the ones that remain are struggling. I will let the tall ones I have reseed themselves and see what I get next year.

Search The Garden Helper:
Recently, two of my "bushes" began to wilt even though I keep them moist (not wet) and free of aphids. I know that it isn't the heat because I have three others that aren't bothered. The earwigs are really thick this year, but I try to control them and have not really noticed them on the lupines. Anyway, I couldn't save the two plants and am afraid that the others are going to be affected and I don't want to lose all of them. Help!
