Blue-Eyed Grass

Stout Blue-Eyed Grass (Sisyrinchium angustifolium) is a perennial forb native to Eastern and Central US states (such as Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, and Missouri) that can thrive in USDA Zones 4–9. Reaching a mature height of 8–20 inches with an upright clumping growth habit, it features flat, grass-like green leaves and produces small, violet-blue, star-shaped flowers with bright yellow centers. It thrives in damp meadows, open woods, and shoreline margins and is ideal for wet prairie restoration, rain swale stabilization, and native bee forage.
