Mediterranean white lupin
Lupinus albus
Mediterranean white lupin is a robust, fast-growing plant that thrives in full sun to partial shade with well-drained, slightly acidic soil. It is a nitrogen-fixing legume, making it an excellent cover crop or companion plant that improves soil fertility naturally. Water regularly during establishment but avoid waterlogging, as it is susceptible to root rot in heavy or overly wet soils.
