American lupin aphids are the big grey coloured ones. They have stopped us from growing lupins now. They destroy any we try.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm Is it a houseplant? If so, not a clue I kill houseplants, not deliberately, have to rely on Mother Nature, so I stay with outdoor plants. |

Strictly speaking it's not a houseplant, although I'm sure you could overwinter it if you wanted to!
