Sundial Lupine (Lupinus perennis)
Sundial Lupine is a striking, native perennial known for its tall spikes of vibrant blue to purple flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer. Its finely divided leaves add texture and movement to the garden, while its deep roots improve soil health by fixing nitrogen. This drought-tolerant wildflower thrives in sandy, well-drained soils and is a vital host plant for the endangered Karner Blue Butterfly. Ideal for meadows, pollinator gardens, and naturalized plantings, Sundial Lupine brings a bold yet graceful presence to any landscape.
