I grew up in Texas, so I really wanted to bring a little bit of it to my yard. This is the second year I've tried these seeds, and not a single one germinated either year. Tried sowing outside and inside...nothing. Disappointed.

I grow bluebonnets every year and these seeds always do great. The trick is to carefully nick the hard coating of the seed with a nail file or clipper before planting. Bluebonnets need a long cool period to develop their roots before they flower in spring, so fall/autumn sowing is a must! Don't worry if you don't see them germinate right away, they can take several weeks (or more) to come up. Plant your seeds in November and you will be rewarded with a stunning carpet of bluebonnets the following spring.
