Lupinus sellulus var. medius
Lupinus sellulus var. medius var. medius
This native California and Oregon lupine variety thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soils with moderate moisture. Plant in a partly shaded to full sun location and avoid overwatering, as lupines are sensitive to root rot in heavy, waterlogged soils. Its vibrant flower spikes make it a rewarding choice for pollinator gardens and native plant landscaping in the Pacific Coast region.
