Bluebonnets in S LA

I’ve tried several times with seed to get them established. For whatever reason they do fine for one season but never come back

so give it a try. Plant seeds in the fall and see what happens

Wife from Tx Hill Country tried for bluebonnets in Baton Rouge for a few years. Bedding plants from nursery looked OK but spindly. They never reseeded. Oddly enough, Bluebonnet Blvd is just a few blocks away. There may have been some here in the past.

The prairie soils around Austin have a lot of crumpling rock and dry very quickly. Most Louisiana soil stays wet...possibly the cause.

Bluebonnets like dry, well-drained, higher pH soils--which is something not generally found in South Louisiana.
