SUMMARY

Texas Bluebonnets are a hardy winter annual native to Texas. Texas Bluebonnets put on a remarkable display of indigo blooms each spring. Bluebonnets do well in small spaces such as containers as well as large areas and meadows. Seed scarification is essential if you wish to increase your germination rate.
