Lupinus (Wild Lupine) perennis 1 gal

A natural treasure, Lupine is the one native plant that everyone, gardener or non-gardener, goes crazy about. Who can blame them with a flower that will light up a garden or any natural meadow with fat, tall, somewhat open spikes of bluish-purple flowers starting in late May and continuing into early July. It is a flower show that has become a signature event in the northeastern states and Canada on a plant that is quite easy to grow once established in the proper landscape situation. Like Lavender, Lupine craves drainage to thrive. It must be planted in a sunny area in soil with a heavy dose of gravel. Try planting this deer resistant, butterfly attracting beauty in groups for a powerful show of late spring color.
