Plant Propagation: Texas Bluebonnet are grown from seed. Germination can be difficult, and seeds may not sprout at the same time. Sow Texas Bluebonnet seeds 1/8 to 1/4 deep. For large, mass plantings, rake lightly into the soil.
Fertilizing is not recommended as it will produce more leaves but not more blooms. Some seed will begin to sprout in 4-10 days. The germination process can continue over 18 months or more. Be aware that one of the reasons bluebonnets fail to bloom is the lack of an essential bacterium in the soil. These bacterium known as rhizobium form nodules on the roots of the bluebonnet plant and are able to fix atmospheric nitrogen (this is the conversion of atmospheric nitrogen to a form usable by plants).
