Perennial Lupine Seeds
Lupinus perennis, also called Perennial Lupine, Wild Lupine, and Sundial Lupine, has a wide native range across the Midwestern & Eastern US. Its native range includes Minnesota east to the Great Lakes region, Northeastern states, and in coastal states down to Georgia. This Lupine species thrives in sunny areas, sandy soil, including black oak sand savannas, sand prairies, and pine barrens. They need well-drained soil, such as sandy, loamy, or gravelly sites, and will not grow well in clay soil. They’re often paired with Daisies, Peonies, and Irises for early season color in gardens, and they pair beautifully with native Coreopsis, Rudbeckias, Coneflowers, and grasses for continual blooms as the season goes on.
Perennial Lupine is a wonderful pollinator plant. It is a host plant for the endangered Karner Blue butterfly, as well as the Eastern Tailed Blue (butterfly, the Queen Alexandra's Sulphur butterfly, Frosted Elfin butterfly, Wild Indigo Duskywing butterfly, and the Persius Dusky Wing butterfly. When the caterpillars eat the leaves, you may see holes or transparent areas in the leaves, but don’t worry – you’ve successfully created butterfly habitat!
