Description

Sisyrinchium albidum (Common Blue-eyed Grass)Despite the name, Sisyrinchium albidum (Common Blue eyed Grass) is not common and not a grass. With that said, it is a cute short prairie or savanna plant that performs well in normal to dry landscapes. They are excellent pollinator plants and can hold their own by spreading through underground roots. This one should be added to your natural garden landscape to behold its beauty.
