Silvery Lupine (Lupinus argenteus) is perennial that is sure to charm! Soft, silvery-green palmate leaves form tidy mounds that look attractive all season. Vertical spikes of pale blue to violet pea-like flowers appear in late spring and early summer and look absolutely stunning for several weeks. These blooms provide a critical nectar source for native bees and butterflies, while the plant’s nitrogen-fixing roots naturally enrich the soil for neighboring plants. Naturally found on dry slopes, sagebrush flats, and open meadows, Silvery Lupine thrives in lean soils. Plant in small groupings or large masses for dramatic effect in traditional garden beds and borders, rock gardens, prairie or meadow plantings, cottage gardens, or naturalistic garden settings. Lupines are toxic if ingested (most of the toxicity is contained in the seeds).
