Lupins are very vulnerable to slug/snail attack, and you can lose an
entire sowing overnight (happened to me :-().

Funnily enough, I just noticed last week that the verges along the M8
and M73 are covered in Lupins. It looks lovely.

There's a railway somewhere between Leicester and Birmingham where the
banks used to be covered in them too (purple ones). Fantastic sight.

But ones I grow from seed are just slug magnets. Different variety,
perhaps?
