Sisyrinchium Bellum

Valuable in the rock garden as well as for edging in the border, these low clumps of evergreen grassy green leaves bear soft lilac-blue flowers with a dark-blue throat and yellow eye, blooming begining in late spring. These are close cousins to the more familiar garden Irises and are not really a grass. Clumps of this charming little gem may be easily divided every 3 to 4 years in early spring.
