Thermopsis caroliniana

36-48" tall. Also known as Carolina Lupine, native to woodland edges and meadows of Appalachia. Tall jaunty terminal racemes of yellow flowers attract myriad bees and butterflies from May into June. Looks like a bright yellow lupine. 

Leguminous plant with attractive trifoliate leaves fixes nitrogen into the soil. Plant 2–3' apart in well-drained soil, full to partial sun. Its deep taproot provides some resiliency during drought. Z4.

Additional Information

Herbaceous Perennial Plants

When you receive your order, open the bags and check the stock immediately. Roots and crowns should be firm and pliable. Surface mold is harmless and will not affect the plant’s future performance. Store plants in their packaging in a cool (35–40°) location until you are ready to plant. If it’s going to be awhile, you can pot up your perennials.

Do not plant bare-root perennial plant crowns directly outdoors before danger of frost has passed. Wet and/or cold conditions for an extended period may cause rotting.
