Sisyrinchium angustifolium (Blue-Eyed Grass) is a clump-forming, semi-evergreen perennial noted for its dense tuft of narrow grass-like, light-green leaves and its clusters of delicate, violet-blue, star-shaped flowers, 0.5 in. across (1 cm), adorned with yellow centers. Borne atop flattened flowering stems, they bloom profusely in late spring and early summer. Blue-Eyed Grass is a terrific plant for accents along paths or walkways, in rockeries or naturalized in cottage gardens.
