Blue-Eyed Grass

The Most Flower-Happy Yet! Great for edging and accent plantings! Masses of indigo-blue daisies greet you on every plant with this happy-go-lucky, carefree little perennial! Its grassy foliage and neat shape make it ideal for edging, and the tiny flowers arise by the many dozen over a long midsummer-into-fall season. Truly one of the most distinctive sun-loving edgers, it's also among the easiest. Find a place for it in your landscape this season!While more common Blue-Eyed Grasses bloom in late spring, this heat-loving variety gets the show started in midsummer, with many dozen 1/2-inch daisies of brilliant deep blue starred with a yellow center. Blue is a rare color in any setting, and to find it at your feet as you wind your way up the front path or through the sunny garden is a delight! The flowers keep coming well into autumn, lasting right through the "dead" late summer weeks when few flowering plants look their best.Just a foot high and 18 inches wide, this tough little plant looks good even when it's not erupting blue blooms in all directions! The foliage is sword-shaped and very dense, for a grassy, tufted look that works as well in a formal design as it does in the chaotic setting of a mixed border. And Blue-Eyed Grass really needs no maintenance, happy in any well-drained soil, tolerant of heat, and quite prepared to tackle a bit of drought. Why can't all our perennials be this easy?!Space these plants about a foot to 15 inches apart for good dense coverage. The foliage will stay fresh and pretty till frost, then return in early spring for another long year of beauty! Zones 6-9.
