Growing and Maintenance Tips:


S. montanum can tolerate moderate drought. Sisyrinchium is best grown in a moist but not wet soil, in full sun to partial shade. They will self-seed in optimum conditions, so it is best to remove the flowers before they seed. Plants should be divided every few years to maintain health.

 Plugs are sold in full flats only.

Additional Notes about Blue-Eyed Grass:


Native to Ontario

Though it is called a grass, and looks like a grass, Sisyrinchium is not a grass, but is in the iris family.
