Wild Perennial Lupine brings a stunning burst of color to your spring garden with its dramatic flower spikes rising 2 to 6 feet tall. The cool-toned blooms—ranging from lavender to deep violet—draw in bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds while adding graceful height and texture to your space. Its lacy green foliage forms a soft base that pairs beautifully with yarrow, daisies, and other perennials in cottage-style or naturalistic gardens.

Perfect for Cottage Gardens
Lupine shines in classic cottage borders and wilder, looser landscapes. Its height and structure add rhythm, while its natural bloom shape creates movement and softness. Interplant with forget-me-not, foxglove, yarrow, or native grasses for a balanced blend of form, function, and beauty.

Nitrogen-Fixing Benefits
What truly sets lupine apart is its ability to fix nitrogen in the soil. Like other legumes, lupine forms a symbiotic relationship with beneficial bacteria in its roots. These bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen into a plant-usable form, naturally enriching the soil without synthetic fertilizers. This means your lupine isn’t just feeding pollinators—it’s helping feed your garden. Over time, nitrogen-fixing plants like lupine improve soil fertility, benefiting neighboring plants and building a stronger ecosystem in your flower beds or wild spaces.
