Broadleaf lupine is a striking native perennial that produces tall spikes of blue-purple flowers beloved by pollinators in late spring and early summer. Plant in well-drained, slightly acidic soil in a spot with morning sun and afternoon shade, especially in warmer climates. As a nitrogen-fixing legume, it improves soil fertility over time and rarely needs supplemental fertilization.
