Can I grow Texas bluebonnets in the Middle East?

Best Answers

Plant the seeds in October and November (early October is best). Texas bluebonnets are annual plants, meaning they go from seed to flower to seed in one year. They germinate in the fall and grow throughout the winter, and usually bloom around the end of March to the mid-May. read more

Texas bluebonnets produce large, hard-coated seeds that may cause them to have a low germination rate the first year or two. This is nature’s “insurance” so that, in case of drought, residual seeds are left in the soil for the following year. read more

Bluebonnets grow best in soils that are alkaline, moderate in fertility, and most important of all, well drained. Full sun is also required for best growth. Seed may be planted September 1 through December 15; however, for best results, plant seeds no later than mid-November. read more
