I’d leave as many as possible; they’re very attractive to bees, and they do pull right out if you get overrun.

Also, Miss Rumphius.

Unfortunately, they are also an invasive species in Maine. Plant native clover for nitrogen and bees and native milkweed for the butterflies instead please! (I still think lupines are pretty through)

There are many many species of Lupine, many are native to North America. The fancy garden ones in multiple colors are European and there may be invasive species but thats very difficult to tell from just seed pods.
