Description

This is a California native annual with blue flower spikes that can be as long as 6" in the spring. Arroyo Lupine is an annual wildflower in much of western California, parts of Arizona and Baja California. It’s a lowland plant, usually growing in open places, coastal prairies and grasslands below 2000 ft. elevation. Like many annual wildflowers, Arroyo Lupine was not seen every year. But in years with the right rainfall, our roadsides, fields and open areas were once covered with native lupines.
