-
Perennial lupine can grow wild or in your flower bed in USDA zones 3 - 9. Lupinus perennis, or simply Lupine, is a well-known and loved perennial wild flower. They bring interest and beauty to any naturalized landscape setting, and they fixate nitrogen for the soil.

Wild blue lupine can reach heights of 36 inches and deer tend to stay away. They’re beneficial in many ways! Lupines have very attractive, shrub-like deep green foliage and tall erect stems that tower above the foliage. Lupine is an early summer bloomer and very attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds.

Press the seed into the soil and very lightly cover with soil. Keep the seed moist continuously. With a temperature of 68F, germination is usually within 14 days.

Grow in full sun to partial shade and in well-drained soil.
