Lupinus Perennis Subsp. Plattensis

Purple coneflower, scientifically known as Lupinus perennis subsp. plattensis, is a striking native plant of the North American prairies. It is celebrated for its vibrant purple blooms and its ecological importance to pollinators like bees and butterflies. This subspecies thrives in well-drained soils and full sun, making it a popular choice for native gardens. Its feathery leaves and tall spires add visual interest to any landscape. Despite its beauty, it requires careful management to prevent it from becoming invasive in non-native environments.
