Lesser-known fact--this perennial favorite produces an edible bean!
Lupines are native to Europe and the Americas but are considered invasive in some other parts of the world.
If you love that cottage garden look, you'll love lupine.
For an even more striking effect, mix and match your lupine colors and varieties.
This is an inexpensive option, and a good way to go if you have a favorite that you want more of.

Lupines will bloom for up to four weeks with no attention, and potentially longer with some extra care.
In a pinch lupines will grow in partial shade, but for the best blooms you'll want full sun.
Container growing is not the first thing that comes to mind for lupines, but it can be done!
Starting lupines from seed indoors is a good way to grow many plants affordably.
