Hollowleaf annual lupine is a fleshy annual herb from California and Baja California, grown from seed for its purple-blue flower spikes. It is the most water tolerant of the lupines and does best in full sun with moist clay or heavy soil.
Lupinus succulentus is a species of lupine in the family Fabaceae. It is known by the common names hollowleaf annual lupine, arroyo lupine, and succulent lupine.
It is native to California, where it is common throughout much of the state, and adjacent sections of Arizona and Baja California. L. succulentus is known from many types of habitat and it can colonize disturbed areas.
