Insights
Lupins grow wild in North and South America. They are particularly spectacular in the Western prairies of North America where they are called Bluebonnets. Despite their impressive size, instead of simply talking from the soil in which they grow, Lupins are beneficial since they have nitrogen fixing roots.
