Sisyrinchium ‘Marion’


Blue-eyed Grass

USDA Zone: 5-9

Plant number: 1.493.090


Blue-eyed Grass is a dwarf relative of the Iris, forming low tufts of grassy leaves with clusters of small starry flowers. They are a popular choice for planting in the rock garden, but are useful also for edging borders, and in mixed containers or alpine trough gardens. This recent introduction features especially large blooms in an unusual lavender-purple shade, the petals streaked with a darker shade and each flower showing a cheery yellow eye. A vigorous, freely flowering selection. Clumps may be easily divided every 3 to 4 years in spring.
