Palm-shaped leaves surround the plant as an added attraction, making it a popular choice for gardens or restorations. This historic plant was used by the Cherokee to treat nausea and as a wash to stop bleeding.  These Lupine are in such great decline that many states have provided them special legal protection.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eLight:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003e Full sun\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eSize:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003e 24\" to 36\" tall; 18\" wide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eSoil: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eRequires well-drained soils but will adapt to most dry soil types; sand. loam, and gravel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eWater: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eMedium dry, dry.  Drought tolerant once established.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eBloom: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eEarly Spring for 4 to 6 weeks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eOther notes: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eHost plant for Elf butterfly larvae and the endangered species protected Kamer blue butterfly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eUses:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003e Naturalized or wildflower area, pollinator, butterfly and wildlife gardens.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UC Master Gardeners of Monterey Bay","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39781590990893,"sku":"","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0382\/9058\/7693\/products\/dsc_0358_lupinus_perennis_plant_shutterfly_magnet.jpg?v=1633914009","url":"https:\/\/uc-master-gardeners-of-monterey-bay-plant-sales.myshopify.com\/products\/lupinus-perennis-bluebonnet","provider":"UC Master Gardeners of Monterey Bay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
