Sunflower Fields in Texas To Visit

Sunflower Fields in Texas To Visit

Here is a list of sunflower fields in Texas for fall ’22 & summer ’23 visits.

The Lone Star State has over 15 Sunflower Fields in Texas to visit. Did you know that Texas sunflowers have only 1 season for growing? Sunflowers grow tall bright yellow flowers making a landscape appealing to the eye in the summer and fall. Numerous sunflowers commonly bloom during summer, the peak season for the flower; however, late-blooming sunflowers grow from September to October. But it’s still just one growing season. Sunflowers are perennials (meaning they come back each year) and bloom for 8-12 weeks.

If you’re looking to grow your own sunflowers, it’s best to plant the seeds in late spring after the last signs of frost, and you’ll have beautiful sunflowers in mid-summer (early June) through the first frost during the sunflower season.

Sunflower Fields In Texas

Visiting sunflower fields is something the whole family can enjoy. Whether in the summer or fall months, there are usually extra activities at the farms that visitors can partake in. There could be an opportunity for family photos amid sunflowers.

You’ll find sunflower fields all over the Lone Star State – from North Texas to West, Texas, Houston, and south.

Also, if you can’t hire a professional photographer to come along with you, don’t worry – your phone camera will do. I take all my photos from my Apple 10 phone, and they look amazing every time.

Sunflower Fields in Texas To Visit

Like any other flower, Mother Nature controls when the flowers will bloom. It’s always best to check the farm’s website to ensure crops bloom, especially if you’re going out there to pick sunflowers. I do love a beautiful flower bouquet like the one above. But, be sure to bring a pocket full of money – they aren’t cheap.

Pro Tip: Bring your own heavy-duty scissors to cut the sunflowers

Hamilton Farms

Shallowater (West Texas)

Hamilton Farms near Lubbock offers cut-your-own fresh sunflowers in June & July. You’ll find acres and acres of fresh sunflowers to pick, food trucks, photo ops., feed the animals, and more during their Sunflower Days.

$6 Admission fee.

Western Bell Family Farm

West, TX (Near Waco)

Their first annual Sunflower Festival is from May 7 to June 27, 2022. Western Bell is hopeful that the sunflowers will be out in May, but they may extend all the fun to June if they are not (due to weather). Keep up to date on Western Bell Facebook. The city of West is 10 minutes north of Waco.

$10 Admission fee.

Bloomer’s Garden (formerly Wild Berry Farm)

Sadler (North Texas)

Located in Sadler, TX, almost to the Oklahoma-Texas border, you’ll find nine varieties of cut-your-own sunflower summer blooms, including red sunflowers and Mexican sunflowers. Also, cut-your-own zinnias and cosmos. They will also have blackberries and blueberries to pick in mid-June. Check the website before you go – Bloomer’s Garden.

$6 Admission Fee. $1-$3 per sunflower stem. Bring heavy-duty scissors. No pets.

Editors Note: We visited on June 26, 2022, and picked zinnias and cosmos AND the biggest sunflower I have ever seen. The head of the sunflower is about 5 inches all around and will feed my birds for a while. Also, if any seeds drop to the ground (and they will), I will likely have sunflowers growing in my own garden. Those are $5.

George Farms

Poteet (South Texas)

Pick-your-own sunflowers and zinnias on Mother’s Day weekend. There will be vendors, food & drinks, pony rides, a petting zoo, hayrides, kid’s crafts, games, wine, and more. George Farms will open every weekend in May.

Wildseed Farms

Texas Hill Country

Fredericksburg – Wildseed Farms – late summer blooms of sunflowers, but there is no wrong time to go March through October at this farm. It seems there is always something growing in the fields. Plus, you can take a hike on the walking path while viewing the gardens. Note – this is not a cut-your-own flower farm but a store where you can buy seeds and Texas memorabilia.

Sweet Berry Farms

Marble Falls (Texas Hill Country)

Oh, my favorite place to visit …and I’m returning mid-May 2022! Starting June, they will have cut your own sunflowers. Sadly, I will miss this, but please cut some for me!!

No fee to park or enter but most activities costs. Cash or credit cards are accepted.

Sweet Eats Fruit Farm

Georgetown (Austin)

Their Sunflower Festival is set for June & July 2022. Sweet Eats Fruit Farm will have a Wine Your Way Out for 21 yrs and older.

Buy tickets online for cheaper. $17.95 and up.

Extra sunflower field viewing

  • I got a whiff that you can see a beautiful sunflower field in Whitewright on Fiddler’s Road right off State Highway 160. I’m not sure, but I believe this is on private land, so please respect that.
  • You can find sunflower fields right off  Hwy 287 in Ennis, just a short drive from Dallas. This route is such a lovely scenic drive.
  • The sunflower field in Waxahachie is no longer there.
