Sisyrinchium angustifolium | narrow blue-eyed grass

In a meadow setting, the strap-like leaves of this Iris family species can easily be mistaken for a grass—until late spring when they begin to flower. Tidy clump-forming plants produce numerous sky blue starry flowers that open each morning. Found in the wild in moist sites, blue-eyed grass is surprisingly adaptable to gardens with a wide range of sun exposure and moisture levels.
