Collared Annual Lupine

An upright annual wildflower, reaching 1-2 ft tall and 1 foot wide, Collared Annual Lupine is native to the coastal mountain ranges and canyons of California, from Baja to the Bay Area. Collared Annual Lupine can tolerate serpentine soils, and is adaptable to many soil types.

Pleasant smelling flowers are loosely spaced along the stem, blooming in a deep magenta to purple hue. Collared annual lupine grows on slopes, in habitats such as chaparral and woodland, and pops up often in areas that have recently burned. Pair with other annual wildflowers for your own spring superbloom, and be sure protect the young tender leaves from birds and slugs!
