"Love lupines. Got about about one half package planted. So excited. Thank you"
"2 lbs of lupine seeds given as a gift to friend with a house in Maine. My Northeast Wildflower Mix has come into its' own. On neighbor remarked that with "little to smile about these days I always smile when I walk by your wildflowers". Your staff has been very supportive and helpful when I initiated this project."
"Proliferation of 1st year annuals have provided the 365 day to flower Lupines cover for root development. When weeding, I have noticed at least 100 plants over my first year wildflower garden."
"I do wish that American Meadows would have added this information in their description box. I still would have purchased the seeds, but would have known what to expect. This season, I have many plants that have sprouted and grown, however, not one flower. Apparently, it does take a while for this particular plant to really dig in and set itself."
"I planted perennial lupine in my front yard to replace a big section of lawn. We now have gorgeous purple flowers all spring followed by beautiful black eyed susans when the lupines are finished for the season. We enjoy the flowers so much that we're continuing to add more and more every year."
"i followed planting instructions diligently and had little success. I prepared the soil as directed in proper sunlight and have almost no blooms. These seeds were more expensive than local garden center. I had high hopes. Very disappointing"
"First year from seed."
"We've been working on renovating a house and I had a lot of destroyed lawn areas with turned up soil. Since I am not a huge fan of grass, I took the opportunity to scatter some of this. I thought a field of lupines would be very pretty. Unfortunately, none took hold. I do blame myself primarily, since I had no time to work on this, nor water to apply. I was hoping for the best in "what works in the wild" kind of way. Luckily, I didn't use all the seeds, so I'll try again this year. I have water available, but no real time to work on it."
"Was thrilled to get the seeds and excited to cultivate them. But out of the dozens of seeds I planted only about a dozen plants germinated. Tried different areas and used a good composted soil. No luck. The few plants that came up aren't healthy and don't look like they will ever bloom. I'm not a master but also not a novice. Any tips would be appreciated."
"The lupine were STUNNING last year, but none have come up this year!😢 It is late June, and nothing so far! What could have happened? I might recommend, but I'd warn that they might be only annuals."
Lupinus perennis, known as Perennial Lupine, Wild Lupine, and Sundial Lupine, has a wide native range across the Eastern and Midwestern US. This Lupine species thrives in sunny areas, including black oak sand savannas, sand prairies, and pine barrens.
Perennial Lupine needs well-drained soil, and can grow in sandy, loamy, or gravelly sites, but will struggle 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.
This species is the sole larval host plant for the Karner Blue Butterfly, a federally endangered species with remaining populations in New Hampshire, New York, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Ohio. Because our seed is produced through open pollination, even with industry-standard best practices we cannot fully rule out that some cross-pollination with other lupine varieties may occasionally occur.
To help protect Karner Blue Butterfly habitat, we do not recommend planting Lupinus perennis from seed in the following active recovery states: NY, NH, IN, IL, OH, MN, WI, MI or Ontario, Canada.
