Lupine, Pixie Delight Flower seeds

The Pixie Delight Lupine variety (Lupinus Hartwegll) is a fast growing annual native to Mexico. It’s in the legume family, so it fixes nitrogen in the soil and is a great companion plant or cover crop for the vegetable garden. Produces dense spires of pastel pink, blue, purple, and white tips. Grows 2'-4' tall on sturdy stems with daisy-like palmate foliage. Put a few in a pot or plant in wide bands for a striking effect. If consumed in large quantities, seeds can be toxic to people, pets, and livestock.
