Discover the enchanting Lupinus polyphyllus, commonly known as Big-leaved Lupine or Blue Bonnet, a true standout in any garden setting. Celebrated for its regal flower spires reaching up to 12 inches in length, this perennial dazzles with blooming hues from purplish-blue to pale beige. Bumblebees and other pollinators are irresistibly drawn to its nectar-rich racemes. The plant's signature palmately compound leaves offer unique texture and function, creating dew-capturing circles that serve as tiny water reservoirs for garden insects. Reaching up to 48 inches in height and 24-36 inches in width, it thrives best in full sun to partial shade and moist to wet soil conditions. Adored for its medium growth rate and low-maintenance profile, this nitrogen-fixing wonder enhances soil fertility and erosion control, making it superb for pollinator gardens, meadowscapes, and rock gardens. Native from British Columbia to California, this wildlife haven provides crucial nectar for hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees, while supporting beneficial insect populations. Plants usually flower after their second year. Bring the magic of Lupinus polyphyllus into your garden and enjoy its beauty year after year!
