Lupinus

Native Lupinus sends up elegant blue-purple flower spikes above finely divided foliage in spring and early summer. Its relationship with sandy, low-fertility soils makes it an important choice for dry prairies, oak savannas, and restoration-minded gardens. Established plants develop a deep root system and prefer to remain undisturbed. The flowers are also closely tied to native pollinators, including specialist species that depend on lupine habitat.

    Sundial Lupine, Lupinus Seed

    Sundial Lupine, Lupinus Seed
    Sundial Lupine (Lupinus perennis subsp. perennis) is a distinctive North American native plant. Purple-blue flower spikes rise above palmate foliage, and its deep taproot suits sandy, nutrient-poor sites. It matures at approximately 24 inches tall and flowers from mid to late spring through late spring to early summer. Plant it in full sun to partial shade, in dry to dry-medium conditions, with sandy soil, dry soil or poor soil. Space plants 10–18 inches apart for healthy growth and airflow.
