Sisyrinchium angustifolium

While it appears to be a low-growing grass, this enchanting native wildflower is in the Iris family and produces tiny, blue flowers in spring and into summer. Narrow upright leaves contribute their own beauty before and after flowering. Considered low-maintenance, this plant does best in full sun in moist to average soils. A good plant for defining garden paths, Blue-Eyed Grass was harvested by Native Americans as a food and medicine source.
