Lupine

Lupine! Lupinus, also commonly known as lupin, or regionally bluebonnet, is a genus of plants in the legume family Fabaceae. Who doesn’t love these whimsical beauties? They hold the spring rainwater droplets on their leaves like the precious jewel that each drop truly is! Their spring bloom are spikes of densely packed blossoms of pea flower towers on stiff stems and green foliage covered in fine hair. A cause for pause and wonderment. The rumors are true… we love Lupines in all their various cultivated forms. Deep rooted, drought tolerant, and tolerating a wide range of soils, this gorgeous plant deserves a place beneath your fruit tree, especially in drier climates.
