Sisyrinchium ‘Sapphire’


Blue-eyed Grass

 USDA Zone: 5-9

Plant number: 1.493.120


A cute little 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 good-sized bright lavender-blue flowers with a yellow eye. 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 gem!
