Lucerne Blue-eyed Grass Sisyrinchium Angustifolium  1 Gal

Lucerne Blue-eyed Grass is a perennial ground cover that grows quickly and has silver-splashed leaves. It features yellow-eyed blue blooms in spring and summer. The plant is clump-forming and has a tuft of narrow grass-like leaves that grow to 12" (less frequently to 20") tall. The plant produces clusters of violet-blue flowers, each with 6 pointed tepals and a yellow eye, on stalks growing from leaf-like bracts atop usually branched flowering stems which are distinctively flattened. The specific epithet means narrow-leaved. ‘Lucerne’ was discovered growing in a nursery near Lucerne, Switzerland. It is noted for its profuse bloom of large, one inch diameter, star-like, intense blue flowers with yellow centers over a long May-June bloom period.
