100 Seeds Western Blue Eyed Grass Sisyrinchium bellum

Western Blue Eyed Grass is a hardy, clump-forming perennial wildflower prized for its star-shaped blooms in shades of blue to violet-blue with a small yellow center, appearing above narrow, grass-like foliage in spring and early summer. Native to western North America, it is a charming addition to meadow plantings, rock gardens, and low-maintenance borders, attracting pollinators and naturalizing readily in suitable conditions.

This versatile plant works beautifully in wildflower meadows, pollinator gardens, cottage gardens, and as a low-water groundcover in sunny to lightly shaded areas. It pairs well with other native perennials, ornamental grasses, and bulbs. Plants form tidy clumps that slowly spread, offering a soft, natural texture through the growing season.
