Sisyrinchium bermudiana

Sisyrinchium bermudiana Details

Sisyrinchium bermudiana, commonly known as Blue-eyed grass, is an herbaceous perennial grown for both its foliage and flowers. It grows as a clump of grass like, dark green leaves. Pale blue flowers with a yellow centre adorn the plant during spring, and typically last just 1-2 days. These sit beautifully above the foliage. It typically grows to 20 cm tall and the same wide, performing best when planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. It is frost hardy and will thrive in wetter, heavier soils. Sisyrinchium bermudiana is commonly included in cottage gardens, added to a mixed planting, used in borders, planted along the edge of water features, grown in a container, or planted anywhere the beauty of this plant can be enjoyed.
