This native to low and midlands in the Puget Sound Region and into British Columbia is a pretty road-side plant that has been cultivated and there are now many colours and shades of the domesticated varieties. The native lupines are very attractive and a little more hardy and look just as good in the garden. They like moist to wet, open habitats and disturbed sites.

I like this opinion
