SISYRINCHIUM SEEDS

The Sisyrinchium genus, commonly known as Blue-eyed Grass, is a delicate and versatile member of the Iridaceae family. These herbaceous perennials are celebrated for their grass-like foliage and star-shaped flowers in shades of blue, violet, yellow, or white, which bloom from late spring through summer. Sisyrinchium adds a naturalistic touch to borders, rock gardens, and wildflower meadows.

Native to the Americas, Sisyrinchium thrives in well-drained soils and sunny locations, tolerating a variety of conditions, from dry meadows to damp stream edges. These low-maintenance plants are ideal for naturalising, creating swathes of colour in informal garden settings. Popular species such as Sisyrinchium angustifolium and Sisyrinchium californicum are particularly admired for their vibrant blooms and ability to attract pollinators.

The Sisyrinchium genus combines beauty, resilience, and ecological value, making it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking colourful, easy-to-grow plants that blend seamlessly into naturalistic landscapes.

In the wild it grows in mid western & eastern North America, from New Foundland & Quebec to Florida & Texas. Over time it can spread slowly by seed, but it never seems to become an unwelcome intruder in any sunny location. Alternatively, clumps can be divided in early spring. ... Learn More
