Greek White Lupin

Greek White Lupin, scientifically known as Lupinus albus graecus and belonging to the Fabaceae family, is an annual plant native to regions including Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey, and Yugoslavia. It thrives in full sun with a preference for dry to moist conditions and can grow up to 1 meter tall. The soil type does not overly restrict this hardy plant; it adapts well to light (sandy), medium, or heavy (clay) soils. Both edible and medicinal uses have been documented for Greek White Lupin, making it a versatile addition to various landscapes and agricultural settings. One distinctive feature is its ability to fix nitrogen in the soil, enhancing fertility while also producing seeds that can be consumed.
