Carolina Lupine (Thermopsis caroliniana villosa) 10 seeds

Carolina lupine is an upright, clump-forming perennial which is native to the Carolinas and Georgia. Typically grows 0,90-1,20 m (3-4') tall. Features erect, dense, terminal, spike-like racemes of yellow, lupine-like flowers which bloom in July. Compound, trifoliate, grayish-green foliage (oval leaflets to 8 cm (3") long). Seed pods are villous (having long, shaggy hairs), hence the species name. Thermopsis is often commonly called false lupine because of its similarity to the true lupines.
No serious insect or disease problems.
Used for Wildflower gardens, meadows, borders or cutting gardens.
Easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained soils in full sun. Good tolerance to summer heat and drought. Difficult to transplant because of long tap roots.
