Lupines prefer full sun, at least six hours of direct sunlight on most days, to grow and bloom their best. They can grow in partial shade, but their flowering will be diminished. However, some afternoon shade is ideal in hot climates. If you plant lupines in deep shade, they typically won’t flower.
What zone does lupine grow in?
It thrives in USDA zones 3-9. Tree Lupine (Lupinus arboreus) is a West Coast native that grows as an evergreen shrub three to four feet tall and wide, typically with purple flowers. It is suited for USDA zones 7-10.
Where do lupine flowers grow?
Easy to grow, lupine thrives in cool, moist locations. It prefers full sun to light shade and average soils, but will tolerate sandy, dry soil. Plants develop long taproots, so loosen the soil to a depth of 12-20 inches using a rototiller or garden fork. They will not grow in clay.
