This compact series of lupine is great for our region because it's shorter than other
varieties, so the gusty winds aren't able to blow it over as easily. Red, blue, yellow,
pink, and white flowers are availablr. Its rainbow blooms are spectacular in late
spring on into our cool summer. Deer avoid lupine because the entire plnt is poisonous
if ingested, especially the seeds and pods.
