Texas Bluebonnet Seeds -Lupinus texensis

Also known as Buffalo Clover, this beautiful and tenacious little blue and white bloom has been the official Texas state flower and a symbol of the region for over a hundred years! Low growing and prolific, Texas Bluebonnet Lupine requires some patience to get started, but very little maintenance once established. The same toughness and tenacity that makes this little lupine the perfect representation of the Lone Star state also makes it slow to germinate and bloom. Once it does you will not be disappointed! We recommend scarifying the seeds to assist in the germination.

  • Biennial; The Iconic Texas wildflower
  • North American Native Wildflower
  • Adaptable to both sun and partial shade
