Description:
Lupinus perennis, native to eastern North America, is a perennial plant known for its tall spikes of blue-lavender flowers that bloom in mid to late May. It thrives in sandy soils, often found in dunes and savannas from Minnesota to Georgia. The plant features palmately compound leaves with 7-11 lobes and produces necklace-shaped pods. It serves as a food source for caterpillars of various Lepidoptera species. Due to habitat loss, it is considered rare or endangered in several states. Seeds require scarification for germination, with ideal temperatures between 75-85°F.
