Tall yellow spike-like flowers emerge from a grey-green foliage, attracting many pollinators to your yard. Long, upward, clumpforming plant hosts  bonnet-like flowers that can reach up to 3′ tall. Seed pods will have long, soft hairs. This Blue-Ridge Buckbean resembles that of the common lupine while carrying similar attributes in look, scent, and growing necessities. It is truly a dominating display in late May and June that is fleeting since it lasts only a few weeks.
