Sunflower Fields in Texas To Visit

Sunflower Fields in Texas To Visit

Here is a list of sunflower fields in Texas for summer/fall 2023 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.

*Updating for the 2023 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, there are usually extra farm activities that visitors can partake in. There could be an opportunity for family photos amid sunflowers.

You’ll find sunflower fields throughout 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.

2023 Summer Sunflower Blooms

The sunflower farms below offer summer blooms.

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

• Hamilton Farms

Shallowater (West Texas)

June-July 2023

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)

May 13 – June 11, 2023

Their 2nd annual Sunflower Festival is from May 13 – June 11, 2023. 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 the weather). It’s a pick-your-own sunflowers and zinnias farm. The city of West is 10 minutes north of Waco.

$10 Admission fee. Tickets go on sale May 1st.

• Bloomer’s Garden (formerly Wild Berry Farm)

Sadler (North Texas)

June-July 2023

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.

• Wildseed Farms

Texas Hill Country

late summer for sunflowers

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. And now they offer wine tastings!

Their Sunflower Festival is set to start in June. Sweet Eats Fruit Farm will have a Wine Your Way Out for 22 yrs and older.

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.

 

2023 Fall dates will update soon.
