Native to California, Arroyo Lupine or Succulent Lupine can be found growing wild (and abundantly!) across much of the American Southwest and Northern Mexico. This gorgeous annual will grow about 2 feet tall and produces lovely, upright spikes of deep blue and white blooms. A prolific re-seeder, Arroyo Lupine is a popular choice among wildflower gardeners.

*Seed scarification advised for lupine seeds (Nicking or scaring seeds with hard seed coatings before planting helps the seeds absorb water. After scarification, soak seeds in water overnight before planting. This will jump-start germination and get your garden growing faster.)

    Overall rating: 2.3 / 5 from 3 reviews.

    I have been reseeding an empty lot, in Los Angeles, for the past three years, with many kinds of wildflower seeds, and it is the Arroyo Lupine that blooms around February every year. They are beautiful. I have tried both the Southwest Mix and California mix.

    Arroyo Lupine Seeds

    4 out of 24 seeds germinated. I ordered 2 more packs of lupine and there are only 15 seeds per pack. Pretty stingy I'd say.

    Not sure what went wrong I followed the instructions … I bought 1 packet and 2 germinated.. then I bought another packet and none germinated… I have grown plants from seed for two seasons (over 2k seedlings) but this was my nemesis.
