Bluebonnet Innoculation

Posted by cjb56houtx TX (My Page) on

We are planting a wildflower patch in lower Texas about 100 miles north of Houston in the next month or so.. I have read that it enhances the germination of bluebonnets if the seeds are innoculated and scarified (since the seeds have a hard shell). The seeds that I have bought are scarified. Is innoculation really a need? We have planted in the past and had little luck. How does one get ones hands on some innoculant that is made for Texas Bluebonnets. Needs some advice please so this is a successful planting excercise. Thanks

Don't know where you can buy it, but if you know of a place where these plants grow naturally you could collect some soil for use as an inoculum.
