Description:
A charming California native, Blue Eyed Grass produces slender, grassy leaves and petite violet-blue flowers with golden centers. Despite its name, it’s not a grass but a member of the iris family. In the East Bay, it thrives in full sun or partial shade with moderate to low water, making it an excellent choice for meadow-style gardens or mixed native borders. This long-lived perennial naturalizes easily, offering fresh spring color and graceful texture that complements other drought-tolerant natives.
