Thermopsis villosa

Carolina Lupine is a deciduous perennial in the Fabaceae family. Showy yellow flowers grace
this plant in late spring or early summer, making it a good cut flower. Pollinated by bees,
butterflies, and moths, it is a host plant for the Persius Duskywing. It likes full sun to part shade and a variety of soil conditions, but prefers acidic soil. Carolina Lupine does best in moist, well-drained soil but may need extra watering during drought. When planting, remember to give plenty of room, as this plant doesn’t like to be crowded.
