Wild Lupine is a Wisconsin Native with clump-forming habit; rich green, palmate foliage; dense spikes of pea-like, bright blue flowers
blooming in May-June. Cut back after flowering to new basal
foliage. Dislikes winter wet. Use in the woodland edge,
meadow, shade garden or border garden, and to attract
butterflies, hummingbirds and bees.
Lupines are a legume, which means that they fix nitrogen in the soil and they enrich your soil health.
