Discover the beauty of Texas with Lupinus texensis, also known as Texas Bluebonnet or Texas Lupine. Endemic to Texas, this annual plant begins its life as a small, hard seed that needs weather and natural forces to break it open. It then grows into a rosette of palmate leaves with five to seven leaflets before shooting up a plume of blue flowers in the spring. Its captivating fragrance is described diversely, but its beauty is undeniable. As the official state flower of Texas, it is sometimes confused with other lupine species, but its distinct features set it apart. Witness the stunning sight of a patch of Texas Bluebonnets in bloom by growing these seeds!
