blue-eyed grass

Blue-Eyed Grass (Sisyrinchium angustifolium SASSY GRASS) should be watered regularly but as it is a native wildflower, it requires less water than most other cultivated plants. Water deeply and occasionally, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. During the summer months, water once every week to 10 days, and reduce watering in the winter months to once every 3 weeks. Make sure the soil never stays too wet as this can cause root rot.

Blue-eyed Grass (Sisyrinchium angustifolium) grows in full sun but can tolerate some light shade. It prefers soil that is moist but not soggy. It requires 4-6 hours of sunlight per day, with an ideal time being in the mornings. It can also tolerate some afternoon sun, depending on the climate. Blue-eyed Grass requires being watered during hot and dry periods but should not be over watered. The best time to water is early morning or late evening to prevent its leaves from burning due to the heat of the sun. Blue-eyed Grass will thrive in sunny and warm locations but will not do well in cold and wet climates.

Blue-eyed grass should be pruned in early spring, just before the new growth starts. Prune off any dead, brown, or wilted foliage to encourage healthy, full growth. Additionally, prune off any shoots that grew too close together; this will encourage better air circulation and reduce the risk of disease. To maintain the appearance of the blue-eyed grass, lightly pinch back the green foliage 1–2 times during the summer to stimulate more blooms. In the fall, after the flowering season is over, cut the clumps of foliage back to about 4 inches tall to promote healthy growth the next spring.
