Parish's broadleaf lupine thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soil with partial shade, mimicking its native California mountain habitat. Water regularly during the growing season but avoid waterlogged conditions, which can cause root rot. This perennial is best suited to outdoor native gardens and is not suitable for indoor growing.
