10 Seeds Lupinus perennis Perennial Lupine Mixed Colors Native Flower

Lupinus perennis, commonly known as perennial lupine or sundial lupine, is a hardy herbaceous perennial native to eastern North America. It forms clumps of palmately compound foliage and sends up upright spikes of pea-like blossoms in a blend of blue, violet, pink, and white tones, creating a naturalized meadow look in borders and wildflower plantings.
This lupine works well in pollinator gardens, cottage borders, and native restoration areas, where its spires add vertical color from late spring into early summer. It prefers cool-season growth and well-drained, sandy or loamy ground, and it combines nicely with other meadow perennials and ornamental grasses.
