A California native, silver bush lupine can grow up to 5 feet tall and has has leaves with a silvery cast. This species can grow at elevations ranging from sea level to just below 5000 feet. Silver bush lupine blooms in a number of colors including blue, lavender, and deep purple!
Remember, if you enjoy seeing wildflowers along park trails, other visitors will too! Never pick flowers or other plants along trails, as removing wildflowers can harm not just the flowers themselves, but pollinators and other animals that depend on them for food and cover. If they're pretty, leave them be!
