Lupine

Does Lupine grow in northern climes across the world?
Here it is a sturdy biannual that can take over a garden
in a short period of time.  I seed them randomly in all sections
of my garden and then patiently to see the result the future
second season. After leaving blooms come to seed
I sow them in other areas.   The the second-year blooms
are dug out immediately and composted.

Their lovely blooms grow in wave along roadsides in their
wild state.

  Please tell me of your experiences with lupine!
