Lupinus arizonicus - Arizona Lupine
Lupinus arizonicus is an annual Lupine easily grown in the garden. The Arizona Lupine grows to a foot or less when the season is harsh and to 2 feet or more when a bountiful year comes along. Lupinus arizonicus is noted for the lavender pink flowers that develop a reddish banner once pollinated. Lupinus arizonicus grows in the low desert east of San Diego and into Arizona. Fragrant flowers of Lupinus arizonicus are produced from Winter into Spring. Wildflowers that require no supplimental water are a great way to expand the reach of the Drought Tolerant Garden. It is best to spread seed with the first significant rains in the Fall. Lupinus arizonicus is a nectar source for the Orange Sulphur Butterfly and deserves a place in the wild butterfly garden.
