Texas State Flower
Bluebonnet
Lupinus
It was adopted as the official state flower by the Texas Legislature in 1901. Named for its color and, it is said, the resemblance of its petal to a woman's sunbonnet. It blooms in the early spring and can be readily found in fields and along the roadsides throughout central and south Texas. Scientifically named Lupinus texensis, the bluebonnet is also called buffalo clover, wolf flower, and (by the Mexicans) el conejo.
A 3-5' perennial. The flowers 3" blue spikes on a white-silver bush. Many varieties range from S. Ore. to N. Baja. It needs full sun, good drainage, will tolerate some water but best on the dry side. Cold tolerant to -10 deg. when planted. Seems to be deer proof. Very fast to 3' then slowly to 5'. Use as small screen to attract butterflies. The plant is very showy and fragrant. It is native in a 8" to 35" rainfall area.
