Fortunately for us in the Pacific Northwest, lupines thrive here. A field full of wild lupine is something to behold. I haven't got to see any this year as yet. I am not getting out and around as I usually do. This photo from last year shows a lupine as it is getting its start in the spring.
Better Homes and Gardens https://www.bhg.com/gard…/plant-dictionary/perennial/lupine/) has this to say about where lupine flourishes:
"While lupines are easy to start from seed, these short-lived perennials are difficult to over-winter when not grown in their ideal settings. Regions with cool summers such as the West Coast, Pacific Northwest, northern United States, southern Canada, and New England see lupines thrive."
