Bring the pride of Texas to your garden with the Texas Native Maroon Bluebonnet! This special variation of the iconic bluebonnet, developed in conjunction with Douglass King Seeds and Dr. Jerry M. Parsons, has taken over 30 years to perfect. Known as 'Alamo Fire' or 'Aggie Maroon,' this stunning wildflower is a must-have for any Texas-inspired garden. Unlike common bluebonnets, this maroon cultivar offers a bold, distinctive color that commands attention in spring landscapes and native plantings. The deep burgundy blooms create striking visual contrast against traditional blue varieties, making it perfect for gardeners seeking something truly unique. As a native Texas wildflower, it's naturally adapted to local growing conditions—thriving in full sun, tolerating poor soil, and requiring minimal water once established. This non-GMO heirloom variety supports pollinators and wildlife while celebrating regional heritage. Whether you're restoring native habitat, creating a Texas-themed garden, or simply want a low-maintenance perennial that blooms reliably year after year, this maroon bluebonnet delivers authentic charm and proven performance.

This plant grows in two stages. In fall if develops into a little seedling where it lies dormant until the spring time when it grows into a mature flower.
