Native Texas Bluebonnet  is a hardy winter annual native to Texas. Adopted as the "State Flower of Texas", this is the most commonly seen variety along roadsides and in uncultivated pastures throughout the state.

Bluebonnet flowers are densely arranged on a spike with a characteristic ice white terminal tip. 

Blooms in about 70 days. Germination rate about 70% or better

Bluebonnets cannot tolerate poorly drained, clay based soils. Seed planted in poorly drained soils will germinate, but plants will never fully develop. Seedlings will become either stunted or turn yellow and soon die.

Prefers a sloped area in light to gravelly, well drained, soil with a pH level between 6-7. Bluebonnets require 8 hours of direct sun.

Suggested Use: Raised flower beds, half wooden barrels, hanging baskets, mixtures, hillsides, roadsides and meadows.

Miscellaneous: Easy to grow from seed providing you do not have an overabundance of rainfall and plant in well-drained soils.

Fun Fact: 

After 19 years of bluebonnet collection and development, Texas is blessed with multiple colors of bluebonnets, including:

  • Natural blue 
  • Intense blue – ‘Lady Bird Johnson Royal Blue’ (selected by Texas A&M University AgriLife Extension Service as a Texas Superstar
  • Pink – ‘Abbot Pink’
  • Maroon – ‘Alamo Fire’ aka ‘Aggie Maroon’ 
  • Light purple – ‘Grant’s Maroon’
  • Dark purple – ‘Purple Heart’ 
  • Bright red – ‘Henry’s Red’ 
  • All of these colors are legally the state flower.

David's Garden Seeds sells the Blue Bluebonnet, the Maroon Bluebonnet, the Purple Heart Bluebonnet and the Lady Bird Royal Blue Bluebonnet.

These are planted in Texas in October for Spring Growth. Plant in Fall for Spring growth.

Wildflowers are exactly what the name implies, "wild" which means you plant them in the fall for spring growth. Keep in mind that insects and other small animals like them as well.

Spring means when your ground has thawed and the soil temperature (not the ambient temperature) is at least 65 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Wildflowers are not made to be started inside and transplanted. Scratching the seeds will improve germination. You can do this by putting the seeds in a container with sandpaper and shaking for a minute.

Texas Bluebonnet is an annual plant. It germinates, grows, flowers, and sets seed over the course of one year. 

If conditions are favorable in your garden, the plants will set seed and reproduce. It can take some time to establish a large stand of Texas Bluebonnets, as the seeds can be finicky with their specific requirements.
