A popular garden plant, Nemophila menziesii (Baby Blue Eyes) is a small, trailing annual boasting a profusion of bowl-shaped bright blue flowers, 1.5 in. across (4 cm), adorned with white centers. Blooming from late winter to early summer (depending on locations), the blossoms are borne in clusters at the branch tips. The foliage of small, lobed leaves is hairy. Baby Blue Eyes is a most charming spring wildflower that grows best in cool summer climates and does not tolerate hot and humid weather. Easy to grow, it looks spectacular planted in drifts, adding a wave of true blue color in early spring. It is also a fine choice for rock gardens, garden edging, containers, or in a wildflower meadow.
