-- W.M., Lake Jackson. A. Texas bluebell, Eustoma grandiflorum, blooms in summer and early fall and will grow in most areas of the state in sand, loam or clay and in sun or partial shade. This wildflower even tolerates some poor drainage. The similar E. exaltatum also grows in the salty climate near the Gulf.
The flowers are planted by the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) and local city and county governments as part of a wildflower beautification program started by Lady Bird Johnson. The first two weeks in April are considered prime bloom time for bluebonnets around Austin and the Texas Hill Country. The blue lupine variety is well known as the Texas Bluebonnet, the state flower of Texas.
