Purple Lupine (Lupinus)
This Lupine is native to western North America and is a
hardy perennial member of the legume family. It is commonly used in
gardens for its tall beautiful flowers, attractiveness to bees, and

a rich purple color. The Lupine plant can reach a spread of 3ft wide.
Lupines have soft green leaves. The leaf blades are usually palmately
divided into five to 10 leaflets. This plant is a beautiful, tall,
eye-catching addition to any garden.
They are very hardy plants, surviving extreme temperatures
withstanding cold temperatures to 15 °F (−25 °C) or
more.
