Description
An improved North American native Blue-Eyed Grass, ‘Moody Blues’ has the largest flower of all in the genus. From mid to late spring through early to mid summer it shows off abundant cheery bright violet-blue flowers with yellow eyes atop a clump of grassy, iris-like blue-green foliage. If trimmed after the first bloom it will rebloom through late summer to early fall. A very low maintenance plant, this diminutive beauty is great for pollinators and early season butterflies and its seeds are enjoyed by birds. Excellent as an accent in small garden spaces and containers or in groupings or as a low border in garden beds or along paths and walkways.
Interesting Note
Despite it’s common name, blue-eyed grass is not a grass. The genus Sisyrinchium is a group of perennial plants in the iris family (Iridaceae).
Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 6 inches tall with flowers to 10 inches, and spreading to 12 inches or more, Moody Blues Blue-Eyed Grass is a perfect choice for use as an accent in small garden spaces and containers or in groupings or as a border edger along garden beds or paths and walkways. It looks great around rocks and boulders and around the garden pond. A fine addition to butterfly and pollinator gardens, ornamental grass gardens, cottage gardens and blue theme gardens.
Suggested Spacing:  10 inches for mass plantings;  18 inches or more for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Moody Blues Blue-Eyed Grass is very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. Established plants have moderate drought tolerance but it doesn’t like soil to dry out completely. Can be grown in pots, planters and other containers. Essentially maintenance free when established. It slowly naturalizes into clumps by spreading roots but is not invasive at all. We rarely fertilize or prune it. In areas that experience colder winters the foliage may need to be groomed or cut back to the ground before new growth emerges in spring.
