TREE LUPIN

---

• Actually more like a shrub than a tree, the Tree Lupin is a relative of the Texas Bluebonnet and one of the largest of the lupins. It is native to California.
   
• The leaflets are finger-shaped, growing in a circle at the tip of the stalks and somewhat hairy. Flowers in spring or summer with upright clusters of sulfur-yellow flowers. Varieties are available that have white or purple flowers.
   
• Needs good drainage, but not particular otherwise as to soil type. Drought tolerant once established. Good choice for coastal gardens.
   
• Height to 8 feet.
