Lupine (Pink)
Lupinus
1 quart pot
Lupines make a terrific addition to borders, water- conserving gardens, or scattered throughout native landscapes. Here in the PNW, lupine flowers will bloom from late spring through the first weeks of July. Consider planting them with some late-blooming, summertime favorites — zinnia, rudbeckia, daisies — to keep the color going well into fall. Plants are deer-resistant and their flowers attract many important pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
