Sisyrinchium bellum
- Perennial
- Short-growing
- Blooms spring to summer
- Grows in part shade
Although its leaves are low growing and grass-like, Western Blue-Eyed Grass is more closely related to an iris than members of the grass family. This perennial is a very useful ground cover for shadier areas, as it prefers partial shade. It is quite variable in height, depending on soil and light, but stays within a height range of 10-40cm (4-16"). It is thought to be native to Oregon and California, but it also occurs at higher altitudes, and can be found as far south as Baja California. The numerous, small, tidy flowers appear from spring into mid-summer. It works well in containers, and it looks amazing in mass plantings, but it does not stand up to foot traffic.

Germination can be slow, and the seeds benefit from vernalization. Sow premoistened flats and seal them in plastic bags. Refrigerate for two to three weeks. Then move the flats outdoors to a shady location after all threat of frost has passed. Transplant as seedlings appear.
Sow seeds 2mm (1/8″) deep. Germination can take 30 to 180 days, so be patient.
Transplant after last frost into average, well drained soil. Sisyrinchium grows well in most situations, but it excels in moist, well-drained, fertile soil with pH of 6.5 – 7.8.
