Annuals can be sown from seed in situ in spring to flower the same summer, whereas hardy herbaceous perennials can be set out in early autumn or spring for summer flowering. Perennials can be propagated by taking basal cuttings or dividing in spring. For a dashing showpiece, grow lupins in colourful pots.
