Most species are perennial, some are annual, and a few are shrubs. Lupine have soft green to gray leaves and dense groupings of pea-like flowers on erect spikes. The seeds of some species can be eaten, while others are poisonous. It's flowers are frequently purple to blue, but cultivars can be other colors including orange, yellow, and pink.
