Blue-eyed Grass (Sisyrinchium Bellum) - As you might expect from the common name, Blue-eyed Grass (Sisyrinchium Bellum) wild flower seed produces grass-like foliage with a blue-purple flower. However, it is in the Iris family. Usually this six petaled flower will begin to flower in April and doesn't stop blooming until the end of July or August. Sow Blue-eyed Grass flower seed if you are looking for a star performer! It works well in rock gardens, cottage gardens, at the front of borders and along pathways. Use it in woodland areas and allow it to naturalize in informal settings, or for a more traditional setting, combine it with other low-growing ground covers like creeping thyme or a sedum.
Sow Blue-eyed Grass flower seed in a sunny area. It likes moist but well-drained soil and a light application of low nitrogen fertilizer in early spring. Divide plants every 2 - 3 years in the early spring.
