Wild Lupine

An early-season bloomer that supports spring bees and specialized butterflies.

Why it supports pollinators

Wild lupine provides early nectar and pollen when few other native flowers are blooming. It is especially important for early-emerging bees.

Planting tips

  • Plant in sandy, well-drained soil.
  • Avoid heavy fertilization; lupine fixes nitrogen naturally.
  • Combine with early spring ephemerals for layered bloom.
