Lupins in the Landscape Lupin leaves glisten with morning dew in a thriving patch of wild greenery in Northwestern Ontario. Known for their striking palmate shape and soft, slightly fuzzy texture, these native perennials do more than add visual interest—they actively restore the land. As nitrogen-fixers, lupins enrich depleted soils, making them valuable allies in regenerative agriculture and wildland restoration.
