Overview

Blue-Eyed Grass (Sisyrinchium bellum) is a charming perennial with grass-like foliage reaching 12-24 inches tall and 10-12 inches wide. Not true grass, it boasts striking, blue-purple flowers resembling a small iris, set against emerald blades. Hardy in USDA zones 4-9, it thrives in full sun to part shade and well-draining soil. Ideal for borders and rock gardens, it adds a delicate texture and vibrant color from late spring to early summer.
