California Blue Eyed Grass
We have a couple new (for us) cultivars of the classic California favorite Blue Eyed Grass.
Sisyrinchium bellum “Nanum” is low growing, to 6″ high, with wide leaves and particularly pale blue flowers. Very productive.
Sisyrinchium bellum “Wayne’s Dwarf” is also low growing, but not as low as Nanum. This might even get 10″ tall. We see there are the very classic deep blue flowers.
In general if you keep these members of the Iris Family (Iridaceae) a little bit irrigated through the summer you can get more flowers all summer long. However they are expecting a dormant period by fall.
Here’s a closeup of “Wayne’s Dwarf” for good measure.
