The Russell Lupine Mix (Lupinus polyphyllus) is an easy-care perennial. It’s in the legume family, so it fixes nitrogen in the soil and is a great companion plant or cover crop for the vegetable garden. Produces upright stalks of pea-sized blossoms in various shades of blue, pink, purple, red, and yellow with contrasting tips. Grows 1'-3' tall on sturdy stems with daisy-like palmate foliage. Gorgeous in a pot or an entire field.

If consumed in large quantities, seeds can be toxic to people, pets, and livestock.
