Lupinus polyphyllus aka Garden Lupin

Lupinus polyphyllus, also known as the large-leaved lupine, big-leaved lupine, many-leaved lupine, blue-pod lupine or garden lupin, is a species of lupine native to western North America. It can be found from southern Alaska and British Columbia, and western Wyoming, down to Utah and California, often growing along streams and creeks in moist habitats. Lupines are ideal for beginners as they require less than an hour of care per month, and their tall, showy spires of flowers come in a variety of colors with impressive grayish-green textured foliage. Interestingly, the lupine's common name comes from the Latin word for wolf, as people once believed that the plant soaked up all the nutrients from the soil. However, like peas, lupines are capable of fixing nitrogen in the soil. Blooming from May to July, depending on the variety and growing zone, lupines can thrive in gardens or on the side of the road. On the other hand, the Big-Leaved Lupine is a relatively rare houseplant that prefers direct light and well-draining soil, often not needing added fertilizers if repotted every time it doubles in size. Like Lupinus polyphyllus, it also belongs to the Lupinus genus and is native to Western North America.
