A delicate plant and member of the iris family, blue-eyed grass is a lovely perennial. It blooms for longer periods than most flowers, starting in May and ending in July. Blue-eyed grass consists of beautiful blue-star shaped flowers whose petals have golden centers. It makes a wonderful plant for pollination. It can be used as an alternative for turf because it spreads by rhizome. It also serves as a great filler plant in mixed borders or en masse along the front side of a garden bed. Blue-eyed grass is one of the most maintenance-free perennials available.
