Introducing Lupinus rivularis, commonly known as riverbank lupine, is a stunning flowering plant native to western North America. Found in coastal habitats from southern British Columbia to northern California, this robust and erect perennial herb or subshrub is a sight to behold. Growing up to 3 ft tall, it features a mostly hairless stem that is thick, hollow, and reddish in color. Its palmate leaves are composed of 5 to 9 wide leaflets that range from 2 to 4 centimeters long. The inflorescence is a raceme of numerous flowers, often arranged in whorls, and displays a captivating light purple hue with white accents. As the plant ages, its fruit develops into a somewhat hairy legume pod that can reach lengths of up to 7 centimeters, darkening in color over time. If you're seeking to add a touch of elegance and beauty to your own coastal garden, the Lupinus rivularis River Lupine is a perfect choice.
