I have a lovely Salmon bi-coloured Lupin that has emerged from a plant
labelled My Castle (red variety). Will the seed from this plant stay
true to the colour I have, or will I get a mixture of colours?
It would be worth keeping a few seeds and trying them out but the
answer is probably not. But label them carefully! The best way to
propagate this plant is probably vegetatively, either by dividing it in
autumn, or by taking basal cuttings in spring. Here's a video of Carol
Klein showing you how to do the latter.
