Silver lupine with bold blooms

So much bloom with so little water! This tough California native shines in dry-summer gardens, blooming from spring into August with a cloud of fragrant, purple flower spikes held above handsome silvery foliage. Once established, it can thrive with little to no summer irrigation, making it an excellent choice for water-wise landscapes.
Growing 3–4 ft. tall and 3–4 ft. wide, it forms a substantial, shrub-like presence—beautiful in the ground, on slopes, or even in a large container. For best performance, plant in infertile, well-drained soil and avoid rich amendments that can reduce flowering and shorten lifespan.
Beyond its beauty, this lupine supports local ecology as a host plant for the endangered Mission Blue butterfly. It’s also deer-resistant and cold-hardy to 0–10°F.

We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
