Lupinus perennis / Wild Lupin / Lupin Bleu

Wild Lupine (Lupinus perennis) is a showstopper for your neighbours and passing pollinators! Rich in nectar, wild lupin is the only host plant for the Karner Blue butterfly caterpillar and also attracts other species of butterflies and hummingbirds. 

The seed pod is up to 10 cm long, hairy, shaped like a typical pea pod, and turns black when mature. Each pod contains many seeds that split when dry scattering the seeds.

Wild lupin is a long lived nitrogen fixing plant that prefers sandy, well drained soils. Excellent for restorations and borders!
