Sisyrinchium ‘Raspberry’
Blue-eyed Grass |
USDA Zone: 5-9 |
Plant number: 1.493.110
A cute British selection of Blue-eyed Grass, valuable in the rock garden as well as for edging in the border. This forms a low clump of grassy green leaves, bearing small starry flowers of yellow streaked with deep raspberry pink. Blooming begins in late spring. Not really a grass, these are close cousins to the more familiar garden Iris. Clumps may be divided in early fall or spring, if desired. A charming little gem!
