50 Texas Bluebonnet Seeds – Lupinus texensis Heirloom Non-GMO Wildflower
Texas Bluebonnet (Lupinus texensis) is the iconic state flower of Texas, prized for its dense spikes of deep blue, pea-like blooms often tipped with white. This heirloom, non-GMO wildflower brings a bold splash of color to meadows, wildflower gardens, and roadside plantings. Its compact, bushy habit and early-spring bloom make it a favorite for naturalized areas and pollinator-friendly landscapes.
Easy to grow from seed, Texas Bluebonnet performs best when sown in fall in mild climates or early spring in colder zones. The fragrant flowers attract bees and butterflies, and the plants self-sow readily when conditions are right, returning year after year in favorable sites.

Planting & Care
Sow Texas Bluebonnet seeds directly outdoors in fall or early spring. For best germination, scarify seeds by nicking the hard coat or soaking in warm water for 24 hours before planting. Scatter seeds on the soil surface and press them in lightly, covering with about 1/4 inch of soil. Keep the area evenly moist until seedlings emerge.
Once established, bluebonnets require little care. They prefer full sun and well-drained soil and are drought-tolerant. Avoid overwatering, as soggy conditions can cause root rot. Allow plants to set seed after blooming to encourage self-sowing for future seasons.
