Hi there-
I live in the area between Nipomo and Arroyo Grande west of the freeway. We have sandy soil and have lots of Chinese houses and California poppies that bloom year after year. I would like to sew seeds of the lupine that is so prevalent in the spring around Nipomo. Do you know of a source for lupine seed that would be like the native ones around the area?
Thanks,
Marilee
Is the lupine you favor yellow, blue or lavender in color? Lupinus arboreus has a green leaf; in the Nipomo area it has a yellow flower, in other parts of the county it has a blue flower. If the lupine has a silver leaf and is lavender in color, on sandy soil, it’s probably Lupinus chamissonis (via Linda Chipping).
Have you checked with the nurseries listed on this page for seed? If you are willing to wait until last spring, early summer, they are very easy to gather for propagation.
Hi,
Just moved into a home in Nipomo (Trilogy @ Monarch Dunes) and would like to landscape backyard using California Natives/drought resistant. Are there landscape firms that specialize in this in the area?
Thanks
Deborah,
