Blue Eyed Grass
They resemble an ornamental grass until constellations of bluish-purple star shaped flowers appear for several weeks in the spring.
The Grass Blue Eyed, 'Sisyrinchium bellum', is a delightful little Iris relative from the coast of California.
The tufts of narrow, upright bluish-green leaves lend a casual air to the flower bed or rock garden.
The Blue Eyed Grass is used in flower beds, cottage gardens, meadows, or rock gardens where it's self sowing habit and wandering ways are assets.

For United States gardeners ... remember to fertilize your lawn around the summer holidays. First on Memorial Day weekend to start the summer, again on Labor Day after the heat of the summer has passed, and finally near Halloween for a healthy lawn next spring.
