Blue Eyed Grass (Sisyrinchium angustifolium) is a charming, grass-like perennial that produces delicate star-shaped flowers in shades of soft blue to violet, each with a bright yellow centre. Despite its name, it isn’t a true grass—its slender, grassy foliage simply gives it that appearance. This compact plant forms neat clumps and adds a gentle splash of colour to borders, rock gardens, pathways, and cottage-style plantings. It thrives in full sun to light shade and prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil. Blue Eyed Grass is also a pollinator magnet, attracting bees and other beneficial insects throughout its spring and early summer flowering period.
