The Ennis Bluebonnets have peaked and the bluebonnets are starting to fade and seed. It is still a beautiful view but soon the grass will be taller than the wildflowers. It is important to note that some areas in Ennis have already gone to seed. If you are planning a trip to Ennis to see bluebonnets, please come soon and make sure you pick up the latest map and recommended areas to visit while you're here.

Celebrating 72 Years of Ennis Bluebonnet Trails: Ennis was designated by the 1997 State Legislature as the home of the Official Texas Bluebonnet Trail and was designated the Official Bluebonnet City of Texas. From April 1-30,  Ennis showcases over 40 miles of mapped driving Bluebonnet Trails sponsored by the Ennis Garden Club.  These trails are the oldest such trails known in the state, and tens of thousands of visitors make the short trek to Ennis to view this wonderful wildflower show. The Ennis Garden Club will drive the trails to check the bloom status each week starting in April. The Club then reports to the Ennis Welcome Center about the latest status of the bluebonnets so that visitors can be well informed where the best flowers are on the trails at the time of their visit. Each year, the bluebonnets will appear on different trails as these are natural to the area. In Ennis, the bluebonnets typically peak around the 3rd week of April, according to the Ennis Garden Club. This can vary year to year due to weather conditions and terrain, so please check this website or call 972-878-4748 before your visit. The Ennis Welcome Center will be open 7 days a week in April (Closed Easter Sunday).

Mark your calendars for the Bluebonnet Trails and Festival on April 19-21. Enjoy live music, wine wander, beer garden, kids activities, unique shopping vendors and delicious foods. For the music line-up and schedule visit bluebonnettrail.org.
