Lavender Blooming Season in Texas

The majority of the lavender fields in Texas are in bloom from May to July thanks to the dry climate in Texas.
Now, notice I said majority here. There are some lavender fields that bloom as late as September thanks to the warm climate that Texas has to offer!
The key factor that determines the lavender blooming season is the type of lavender plant that the lavender farm is growing.
French, English, and Spanish lavender plants seem to do well and feel right at home in Texas and are therefor popular choices at many Texas lavender farms.
There are a couple of different varieties of French lavender that do well in Texas. One of the French lavender’s blooming season occurs between April and June, and the other blooms mid-July until September.
English lavender is often planted in Northern Texas lavender fields as this variety tends to grow well in the colder climate found in this area.
Southern Texas lavender growers generally plant Spanish lavender. This area’s Spanish lavender blooms April to May, so time it carefully if you choose to make this one of your romantic getaways in Texas!
