FREE: Blue Bonnet Seeds

can you tell me if they seed out and how do you plante them

Plant the seeds in October & November (early October is best). Lupinus texensis (Texas bluebonnet) are annual plants; that is, 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. Around mid-May, they form a seedpod, which is green at first but turns yellow and then brown. Sometime between the yellow and brown form of the seedpod, the seeds mature. The seedpods pop open, releasing the small, hard seeds.

Adapted to the rocky, alkaline soils of the Hill Country – and to its frequent droughts – 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. As the hard seed coats wear down from abrasion and decay, with some water the seedlings begin to sprout.
