South american lupin
Lupinus mutabilis
South American lupin grows best in well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil with a position that receives at least six hours of sunlight daily. As a nitrogen-fixing legume it rarely needs heavy fertilizing and actually improves soil quality over time. Deadhead spent flower spikes to prolong blooming and support good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
