Why are the state wildflowers sprouting unseasonably early this year? And is this the case in North Texas?
Dallas’ wildflower season typically trails two weeks after Austin’s at around late March to early April. Armstrong said it’s likely North Texans will also see an earlier bloom.According to the, the 2023 wildflower season is expected to be “especially lush.” But that isn’t entirely certain.
“It’s definitely dependent on conditions moving forward as well — we do need continuing rains through the season to help them bloom, and warm temperatures,” Armstrong said. Current conditions favor a vibrant season. Due to an exceptional amount of fall rain, bluebonnet seeds were able to germinate well, explained Texas A&M extension horticulturist Larry Stein. But it may not be enough for them to flourish.This summer’s drought may have contributed to a high germination rate, as it killed off a few types of grass and opened up soil space for wildflower seeds to germinate, Armstrong added.
“People in Texas, for the most part, can expect an early and slightly above average bloom year,” she said.
