Planting & Care

Sow Texas Bluebonnet seeds in fall or early spring. For best germination, scarify seeds by nicking the hard seed coat or soaking in warm water for 24 hours before planting. Scatter seeds on the soil surface and press them in lightly, as light aids germination. Keep soil moist until seedlings emerge, then reduce watering. Thin seedlings to 12-18 inches apart to allow good air circulation.

Bluebonnets prefer full sun and well-drained soil. Avoid overwatering, as they are susceptible to root rot in soggy conditions. Once established, they require minimal care. Allow flowers to go to seed to encourage self-sowing for the next season.
