**Full Disclosure: I test-drove the 2017 Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback for seven days for review purposes. No compensation was received. All opinions are my own.
As you probably know, bluebonnets are the Texas state flower and serve as a popular backdrop for photos each Spring. They can be found along highways and in patches all over from March through about mid-April. I think a single flower is beautiful on its own but when I see hundreds and hundreds of bluebonnets in a field, my heart flutters!
A couple weeks ago, I was offered the chance to take a Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback to see the bluebonnets. I couldn’t resist so I jumped at the offer! My goal was to find the best bluebonnet patches within 2 hours of San Antonio. To make the most comprehensive list, I asked my friends for their suggestions and searched the internet.
Where to Find Bluebonnets Near San Antonio –
- Natalia: There’s a bluebonnet parade the last weekend in March
- Sara McAndrew Elementary, Boerne: Several large patches but I wouldn’t visit during school hours.
- Fredricksburg: Main St. & Bowie St.
- Wildseed Farms: Check the bloom update before you take the time to drive out
- Poteet: On Highway 16 as you head toward Poteet
- Park Road 12: Off 281 toward Inks Lake
- Willow City Loop: is supposed to have an amazing spread of bluebonnets
- New Braunfels: Take Rueckle Road toward 46
With my list in-hand and a friend in the passenger seat, we set out to see the most amazing bluebonnets. We spent several hours driving from San Antonio to Boerne to Natalia but didn’t find many flowers (and the few we did find could hardly be classified as patches!). Actually, in Natalia, there wasn’t a single bluebonnet. We pulled over to ask where we might be able to find some and the lady we spoke with said they were gone for the year. Not seeing any flowers was devastating but at least my friend and I had a cozy car to travel around in.

For whatever reason, I had awful luck locating gorgeous fields of bluebonnets. My husband and I ran across this small yard speckled with wildflowers while in New Braunfels and I decided that was as good as it was going to get. I hope next year’s bluebonnets are far more plentiful than what I saw this year!
