Miniature Lupine | Lupinus bicolor seeds
$5.00
Lupinus bicolor is a species of lupine known by the common names Miniature Lupine, Bicolor Lupine, and Two-color Lupine. Native to California and much of western North America, it is a charming annual wildflower often found in open grasslands, meadows, slopes, woodland openings, chaparral edges, and disturbed areas. It is one of the smaller lupines, but what it lacks in size it makes up for with delicate blue, purple-blue, and white flowers that bring classic California spring color to native plantings.
This easy-to-grow annual prefers full sun and well-drained soil, especially lean or sandy to loamy soils. Excellent for meadow plantings, native wildflower mixes, pollinator gardens, slopes, and naturalized areas. Like many annual lupines, it can reseed when happy, returning in future seasons with winter rains. The plant forms low palmate leaves and upright flower spikes with pea-like blooms, usually in blue and white tones.
