Blue Lupine

Lupinus perennis
This US native wildflower offers a spike of beautiful blue pea-like flowers, the banner petals sporting a white accent. The leaves are a silver-green, and serve as food for several species of butterfly caterpillar. Wild Blue Lupine is the exclusive food of the endangered Karner Blue butterfly caterpillar. The plant's range is in decline, although it can tolerate a wide range of temperatures. It favors sandy soil.

Its tough seed coat requires abrasion, and we do scar the each seed prior to incorporation into the seed ball. Because of the tough seed coat,  late fall/early winter is a good time to plant these seed balls.
