Description

Blue-Eyed Grass is a charming and resilient California native wildflower that brings delicate, star-like beauty to the early season garden. Despite its name, it is not a true grass but a member of the iris family. It forms low, grassy clumps of slender, flat, green leaves. From late winter into spring, it produces a profusion of small, upward-facing, violet-blue flowers, each with a bright yellow center. Exceptionally drought-tolerant and easy to grow, it is perfect for naturalizing in meadows, rock gardens, or along sunny, well-drained paths.

• Delicate Violet-Blue & Yellow Flowers: Produces an abundance of small, star-shaped flowers in vibrant violet-blue with a cheerful yellow eye.

• Early Season Native Bloomer: One of the first plants to flower, providing vital early nectar for native bees and other pollinators.

• Extremely Drought Tolerant & Low-Water: Once established, it thrives with little to no summer water, making it ideal for water-wise landscapes.

• Grassy, Clumping Foliage: Forms neat, low tufts of iris-like leaves that remain semi-evergreen in mild climates.

• Excellent for Naturalizing: Self-seeds gently to form charming drifts in meadows, between stepping stones, or in native plant gardens.
