Beach lupine. Named by early California botanist, Eschscoltz after his dear friend Adelbert von Chamisso, it was probably collected in 1824 on his second voyage to San Francisco. Excellent for restoration work along beaches and sand dunes, it is absolutely stunning bordered with Eschscholzia californica var. maritima. Plants grow to 3’ with brilliant, shining silver foliage and blue flowers from late spring well into summer. We continue to work with darker-flowered forms from Montana de Oro. Coastal California to Washington.
