Wild lupine is an herbaceous perennial with many raceme flowers colored blue, pink, or white. Wild lupine’s name comes from the Latin word, lupus, which means “wolf.” This name came from the belief that these plants robbed the soil of its nutrients, even though wild lupine has actually been shown to improve soil quality by adding nitrogen. Wild lupine is also the only remaining food source for the larvae of the Karner blue butterfly, a species currently endangered in the state of Michigan.
