Description

Texas Lady Bird Johnson Bluebonnets are a special variation of bluebonnets developed and increased in conjunction with Douglass King Seeds and Dr. Jerry M. Parsons, retired professor and Texas A&M Extension Horticulturist. The original plant was isolated in a planting of red bluebonnets in 2006. The Lady Bird Johnson Bluebonnet cannot tolerate poorly drained, clay based soils. Prefers a sloped area in light to gravelly, well-drained soil. Requires full sun. Cross-pollination will occur in future generations. To keep plants true to color, remove any plant that blooms in off-color shades other than red-maroon as soon as possible.

Suggested Use: Raised flower beds, half wooden barrels.

Planting Depth: 1/4 inch deep. This gives the seed the benefits of having the shortest distance to travel to the surface while also being deep enough to keep moisture.

Landscape Planting Rate: 1-2 lbs. per 1,000 square feet.

  • 1 lb. should cover about 500 square feet. The flowers will be densely together.


Rangeland Planting Rate

35 lbs. per acre (1 acres is 43,560 square feet). The flowers will be more spread apart. If you wish for denser cover, plant more heavily.
