Sisyrinchium angustifolium ‘Lucerne’, commonly known as Blue-Eyed Grass, is a charming, grass-like perennial that produces a profusion of starry violet-blue flowers with bright yellow centers in late spring to early summer. Despite its name, it’s not a true grass but a member of the iris family, forming neat, clumping tufts of slender green foliage. ‘Lucerne’ is ideal for rock gardens, borders, and naturalized areas, offering delicate beauty and reliable performance in sunny, well-drained sites.

***We recommend that you wait 7 to 10 days from the date of receipt before repotting your plants, to allow them to recover from the shock of shipping***

Exercise caution and use your best judgment before ordering during unusually hot or cold weather (below 32 degrees F, or in excess of 95F for shipping purposes), as these extremes may leave your plant vulnerable to damage. The optimal time for planting for most of our material is in mid to late spring, past the danger of hard frost. Please refer to our preferred shipping and planting guide for your area below.

Sometimes these plants are small, like the pictures. Sometimes they will be larger, depending on crop rotation. No plants are shipped from our farm until fully rooted.
