Blue Eyed Grass

Blue Eyed Grass should be watered lightly and regularly throughout the growing season. During active growth, water every week or 2. During dry periods, water deeply every 2 to 3 weeks. The soil should be kept moist and well drained to ensure healthy and vigorous growth. During winter, reduce watering to once a month. Avoid overwatering as this could cause fungal or rotting problems. Mulching around the plant to conserve moisture in summer is beneficial.

Blue Eyed Grass is a shade-tolerant species of wildflower, often found in meadows and forest edges. It prefers to grow in full sun for at least part of the day, typically 4 to 6 hours. While it does not need direct mid-day sun, it still needs some regular exposure to direct sunlight for photosynthesis to be optimal. This means it should be planted along the edge of a lawn, or in an area that gets morning or late afternoon sun. It is also adaptable to partial shade, so it can be planted in an area that has some shade throughout the day. Blue Eyed Grass should not be planted in completely shaded areas as it prevents it from reaching its full potential.

Blue Eyed Grass (Sisyrinchium montanum) should be pruned in late spring or early summer, after the flowering is complete. Pruning should be done to remove any dead flowers or unsightly foliage. Although pruning isn't essential, it can encourage larger flowers and more vigorous plants. When pruning Blue Eyed Grass, be careful not to cut too deep or too far down the stem, as this may damage the growth of the plant. Instead, cut away any dead or damaged flowers, as well as any foliage or stems that are growing too tall. Be sure to use sharp garden scissors or clippers to do the job, and throw out any pruned materials.
