Lupinus succulentus, also called Arroyo Lupine, Hollowleaf Lupine, or Succulent Lupine, is native to the Southwestern United States. Its native range includes coastal and central California, and into Arizona and Baja California. They can be found along grassy slopes and are adaptable to a wide range of soil conditions. The soil fertility and moisture available to the plant will affects its mature size. The common name, Arroyo, translates to "canyon" in Spanish, names for the habitat where this species is often found growing. Arroyo Lupines are perfect to pair with California Poppies and native grasses. They are deep rooted and can be used for erosion control.
Arroyo Lupine is also a host plant for the endangered Mission Blue butterfly, as well as West Coast Lady, Painted Lady, Gray Hairstreak, Orange Sulphur, Silvery Blue, and Acmon Blue butterflies. 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!

"Not impressed. None of the massive amount of seeds that we bought sprouted."
"We had never gotten this seed in the bags you buy at the store"
"These sprouted well. I would say better than expected. Last year's did not reseed so well though. I bought these to cover a new area, and they were doing very well and about to bloom when some critter (a rooter) ate almost all of them in one night. aside from that-which of course, cannot be blamed on the seed-I was very pleased."
"I have a large area in which California Poppies grow every year. I wanted to include lupins in this area as well so I purchased a large amount of seed which I scattered everywhere. They only came up in my prepared vegetable garden beds! They were great there, but most of the seed did not germinate in areas which are fine for poppies. However, I am glad to have a native lupin which will grow, which is often difficult."
"Grows well in northern nevada on a sandy hillside with little water. Easy and good looking flowers."
"I planted Arroyo lupines in 2008. They bloomed the first year and reseeded generously in 2009. I had tried lupines before without success but these did extremely well in the Arizona desert."
