Arizona Lupine Seeds (Lupinus arizonicus)
 
Arizona Lupine is a true Sonoran Desert native and one of the Southwest’s most striking spring wildflowers. Upright spires of rose-purple to violet blooms rise above silvery green foliage, bringing bold color to desert flats, washes, and open grasslands after winter rains. This species is perfectly adapted to Arizona’s natural rhythms, germinating with cool-season moisture and blooming early before summer heat sets in.
 
Highly drought tolerant and easy to grow, Arizona Lupine is a favorite for native gardens, wildflower meadows, and restoration plantings where authenticity matters. It’s also an important early-season nectar source for native pollinators and a plant locals instantly recognize from desert landscapes in bloom. If you’re looking for a lupine that actually belongs in the desert, this is the one.
