Blue-eyed Grass

Blue-eyed Grass

Blue-eyed Grass is the name given to several species of Sisyrinchium, which are grass-like plants with flattened stems and narrow dark-green leaves. However, the flowers are quite different from those of grasses; they are about a centimetre across and in most species they are a pretty blue-violet colour. In a few species the flower is white. Some blue-eyed grasses have single flowers on unbranched stems and other species have branched flowering stalks. [CH] {NW}
