Sisyrinchium angustifolium, Narrow Leaf Blue-Eyed Grass

Like tiny stars scattered through meadow grass, Blue-eyed Grass opens its violet-blue blooms to the morning light, closing softly again by evening. Though delicate in appearance, this native perennial is resilient—thriving in sunny borders, open meadows, and along garden paths where the soil stays moist yet well-drained.

Each slender blade hides the grace of the iris family, to which it belongs. When planted in clusters, Blue-eyed Grass forms a soft, natural groundcover that brightens late spring and early summer landscapes. Modest, enduring, and quietly radiant—it’s a reminder that beauty often lives in the simplest places.
