Blue-Eyed Grass
Sisyrinchium angustifolium 'Lucerne'
Blue-Eyed GrassThis easy-to-grow, textural perennial may look like a grass, but it is actually a member of the Iris family. It was selected from the species for its larger 3/4", star-shaped, violet blue flowers with a bright yellow eye. Clump forming, though it may spread by seed if the songbirds don't eat them all first.
