Go Wild In Hill Country with Burroughs!

Previously Burroughs Landscaping shared information about the amazingly breathtaking Bluebonnets in Texas Hill Country.

Take a look around San Antonio and the surrounding areas including Kerrville, Fredericksburg and Bandera. Bluebonnets are not the only beauties we are seeing. With the unusual amount of rain we have received the last month along with lower temperatures, our views should be even more spectacular than in past years. 

Pops of vibrant colors are blooming in fields, gardens and parks. Bring your camera! There are bright yellow California Poppies, electrifying Red Corn Poppies, beautiful shades ranging from cotton candy pink to intense fuchsia Corn Poppies and a wide variety of radiant shades of Showy Primrose. There is no other part of Texas that has more wildflowers than Hill Country in the spring.

Bluebonnets – Get your Camera Ready

It is finally springtime, it is warming up and the Bluebonnets, our Texas state flower, are beautiful! Bluebonnets are named for their color and likeness to a woman’s sunbonnet.

Bluebonnets were adopted as the official state flower by the Texas Legislature in 1901. Scientifically named Lupinus texensis, they are also called buffalo clover, wolf flower and el conejo.

Bluebonnets are some of the most popular wildflowers in central Texas and can be seen on just about any back road beginning in March. After our winter of rain, sleet and snow, word has it that this will be an above average beautiful season for bluebonnets. If you are not familiar with the area, stop in a local cafe or shop. The people who live here will be able to direct you to the best locations with literally fields of bluebonnets with spectacular views. Visit Lady Bird Johnson for bluebonnet sightings with the best scenery. People will visit from miles away for the spectacular show. It is a beautiful sight. Do not forget your camera.

If there is a natural area you would love to see blooming in color every spring and into the summer, plant bluebonnet seeds in full sun in soil that drains well. Barely cover the seeds with soil, and water the seeds only on the day of planting. Allow the soil to dry thoroughly before watering again. Do not over water as bluebonnets love our hot Texas sun! The only need for fertilizer is if you desire more bountiful blooms.
