Texans should get ready for a flourishing wildflower season this year.
Though there are five species of “bluebonnets” native to Texas, the most common, the Texas bluebonnet, typically peaks in Central Texas in early April, but weather conditions across Texas may cause the flowers to bloom earlier than usual.
“The drought may have caused some grasses to die back,” DeLong-Amaya explains. “That opens up soil space for bluebonnets and other spring-blooming annuals to grow.” Flowers like Indian paintbrush and Gaillardia, also known as Indian blanket or Firewheel, tend to bloom at the same time as bluebonnets, Marcus said.
During early spring, North Texans can expect to see flowers like Phlox drummondii, Wind anemone, Carolina jessamine, and Coral honeysuckle. Cross vine, which blooms around the same time that hummingbirds migrate back to Texas, could also be making an appearance soon, Marcus said.
