Lupinus texensis is one of five Bluebonnets recognized as the Texas state flower.
This well-recognized native flower creates an ocean of blue and white blooms, often seen along our Texas highways. The Bluebonnet makes a lovely addition to your meadow, prairie garden, English garden, or even a seasonal pop of color along your garden bed border.
The Texas Bluebonnet features elongated clusters of up to 50 pea-like blue flowers with signature white centers. Flowers bloom freely through early to late spring, attracting butterflies and native bees. In the winter, the plant decorates the landscape with rosettes and circular clusters of leaves.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
