Comanche Mix

If you've heard of the Comanche Indians once inhabiting your area of Texas, this mix will probably work for you. We've selected species that particularly thrive from the southwestern part of the Hill country on up to the Rolling Plains. The Texas Bluebonnets will lead the way in this beautiful mix, with Huisache Daisy and Indian Blanket close to follow. The picture on this page was made later in the spring, after the Bluebonnets were done. This mix will be happy in most any well-drained soil. And, depending on your natural rainfall and whether or not you water occasionally, some of these flowers will bloom until frost.

If you plant the Comanche Mix in your yard, set aside an area where there are no winter grasses or tall plants already growing, as they will interfere with the germination and growth of the seeds. The area can be mowed after the flowers are all finished blooming, and the seeds are dry. All these wildflowers re-seed themselves readily, and will be back to cheer your spring and summer for many years to come.
