About Broadleaf lupine
Broadleaf lupine is a real treasure for your garden. This native wildflower produces gorgeous spikes of blue and purple blooms that attract butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds throughout the growing season. The flowers are a joy to watch, and birds love the seeds that follow. Best of all, as a native plant, it belongs right here and supports our local wildlife like nothing else can.
This is an easy perennial to grow once established. Give it a sunny spot with well-draining soil, and it will come back year after year with minimal fuss. Water it during dry spells when it's young, but mature plants are quite tough. You'll find it's one of those rewarding plants that looks beautiful while doing good for nature. Plant some this spring and enjoy the show for years to come.
