Transform your garden with the vivid beauty of Texas Paintbrush. This iconic Texas native wildflower produces striking red-orange bracts around small, creamy flowers, creating the painted appearance that gives the plant its name. A memorable choice for sunny meadows, naturalized borders, native plantings, and pollinator gardens, it attracts butterflies and hummingbirds once in bloom. Texas Paintbrush can be challenging to establish, but its brilliant spring color rewards patient gardeners. The seeds are very tiny.

Why Choose Texas Paintbrush?

• Texas Native Wildflower: Adds authentic regional beauty to meadows, native landscapes, and naturalized garden areas.
• Brilliant Red-Orange Color: Distinctive painted bracts create a bold display among grasses and other spring wildflowers.
• Pollinator Friendly: Blooms help attract butterflies and hummingbirds to the garden.
• Non-GMO, Heirloom Seeds: Grow a traditional open garden favorite without genetically modified seed.

Planting Tips for Success

• Choose the Site: Select a sunny location with well-draining soil where plants can grow alongside compatible grasses or native plants.
• Sow Carefully: Because the seeds are extremely small, scatter them lightly over prepared soil and press them into the surface rather than burying them deeply.
• Plan for Patience: Texas Paintbrush is a hemiparasitic wildflower that benefits from growing near suitable host plants, so establishment can take more care than many annual flowers.
• Water Gently: Keep the seedbed from drying out during establishment without leaving the soil soggy.
• Maintain Naturally: Once established, allow plants to complete their bloom and seed cycle before cutting the area back.
