Lupine Flowers Are Easy to Grow in the Right Conditions

Lupine grows best in full sun to part shade, and requires well-drained, slightly acidic, fertile to moderately fertile soil. Some varieties are even drought-tolerant. 

They will not tolerate heavy clay soils due to the fact that they grow long taproots. So be sure to loosen up your soil before planting!
