Wild Lupine is a treasure of the late spring garden, with unmistakable lobed foliage and delicate spikes of soft blue-lavender flowers that seem to dance in the breeze. This native jewel is a pollinator favorite perennial that looks spectacular when planted in drifts or to add texture and cool colors to your spring perennial garden. Beautiful as cut flowers too, so be sure to plant extra for bouquets. (Lupinus perennis)

USDA Hardiness Planting Zones
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
- If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will survive the winter temperatures in your area.
- If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
