Prairie Blue-Eyed Grass - Sisyrinchium campestre

When these are sold out, no more will be available from the grower, sorry.

Every year we try to get Blue-Eyed Grass and most years they are no-shows from the growers.  If you order, please know there is a likelihood that these plants will not come and you will be refunded.  We like to try because it's such a cute plant--fingers crossed!

Features:  This charming prairie plant is not a grass at all, but a small member of the Iris family. Its flowers rise from clumps of long, narrow leaves and can range from light blue to blue-violet to white with small yellow centers (or eyes). They attract bees by provide nectar and pollen in May and June at a time before many prairie flowers begin to bloom. May slowly spread by rhizomes, forming beautiful colonies.

Light: Full to part sun

Soil: Medium to dry soil with loam, gravel or sand

Height: 0.5 - 1 foot

Blooms:  May-June
