Yellow bush lupine
This fast-growing evergreen shrub grows 4 to 5 ft tall, and is identified by its large canary yellow (occasionally blue) flowers on 6″ spikes that flower from February to July.
This plant is quite stunning and great for coastal gardens. However, please only plant it in it’s native range: along the coast and San Francisco Bay-side from Bodega Bay southward.
Yellow bush lupine has become a problem after being planted outside of it’s range in Mendocino County and northward.
