This lupine is more modest than some in the family but is a native wildflower that will not take over your garden. A primary food source for the karner blue butterfly this perennial is a popular choice for many native prairie plantings. The name lupine comes from the latin lupus meaning wolf. This refers to the folk belief that this plant took nutrients from the soil. Ironically this plant actually improves the soil because of its nitrogen fixing abilities. Another common name sundial comes from this plant s tendency to turn as it follows the sun.
