25 Seeds Blue Lupine Lupinus perennis Wildflower

Blue Lupine is a hardy perennial wildflower known for its tall, upright spikes of vivid blue-violet blooms that appear in late spring and early summer. Its palmate green foliage and pea-like flowers create a striking vertical accent in meadows, cottage gardens, and naturalized landscapes, offering dependable color year after year in suitable climates.

These plants work beautifully in pollinator gardens, wildflower meadows, and border plantings, where their nectar-rich blossoms draw bees and butterflies. Blue Lupine prefers well-drained, sandy or loamy soil and full sun to light shade, and it establishes best when sown directly or given a period of cold stratification before planting. Handle seeds with care and avoid disturbing established taproots when transplanting.
