Texas highway crews delay mowing so seeds mature and wildflowers reseed. Bluebonnets and Indian paint brush display peak color along more than 70 000 miles of state roads, though roadside looks shaggy late in the season. Next spring’s display depends on growing conditions and Mother Nature.
Texas highway officials explain selective mowing to keep growth from choking out grass cover and to prevent erosion. In the Coastal Bend heavy clover stands are trimmed at edges and intersections to maintain the highway system and save maintenance costs. Wildflowers and grasses are valued tools in erosion control and road slope protection. The department has a long history of investing in landscape work and trained professionals.
