Bluebonnets
In article ,
says...
I found some bluebonnet plants at Lowe's, and planted them and they are
thriving. I have never dealt with bluebonnets before, but I noticed today
that there are little pods hanging off of the plants. Are these where you
get bluebonnet seeds from? When do I harvest the seeds if I want to get them
and plant them for next year? Or do these pods turn into flowers? In other
words....what part of the bluebonnet plant has seeds?
Thanks!

Wild bluebonnets are in bloom now, so possibly the potted plants may of been
ahead of schedule. After the plant has bloomed there will be a number of
small bean like pods on the plant where the seed develops. Let them be and
they will dry out and you can either harvest them yourself or let them drop
around the plants. If you collect the seeds you will need to plant around or
before August to get blooms for next year.
