Sunflowers in Texas 2025

If you still don't have a picture of yourself in front of a golden field of sunflowers, make it happen this summer in Texas. The state is home to both cultivated and wild sunflower varieties, creating stunning landscapes throughout the season. A road trip across North Texas will almost certainly lead you to one of these vibrant fields, offering the perfect backdrop for memorable photos.

Best Season

Visiting a sunflower field in Texas is best from May to June, when the flowers are in full bloom due to lower rainfall and warm weather, resulting in perfect growing conditions for sunflowers. However, the sunflower season can alter each year due to temperature differences. To know for sure the optimal time to visit a local flower farm before going on your trip is recommended.
