Californian blue-eyed grass

Californian blue-eyed grass (Sisyrinchium bellum 'Rocky Point') is a fairly drought-tolerant plant and needs consistent watering for the first few months after planting. Once established, water this plant once a week in the spring, with less frequent watering as the season progresses and the heat increases. In the summer, give the plant a deep soak every 3-4 weeks. Once the temperature starts to drop in the fall, water the plant once a week again. Californian blue-eyed grass does not need to be watered in the winter.

Californian blue-eyed grass (Sisyrinchium bellum 'Rocky Point') requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily to maintain healthy growth and blooms. Ideal location for the plant is 1 that receives direct sun for much of the day, but with some afternoon shade. Planting in morning sun and afternoon shade is beneficial, as the temperatures tend to be cooler in the afternoons, but if that's not possible, afternoon shade is better than no shade at all.

Californian blue-eyed grass (Sisyrinchium bellum 'Rocky Point') should be pruned once a year, in late spring once it starts to develop flower spikes. Pruning should be done by removing dead or dying flowers and seed spikes, as well as any stems which appear to be weak or diseased. This should be done so that new flower spikes can form and mature, ensuring that your Californian blue-eyed grass remains healthy and vibrant. It can also benefit the long term health of the plant by helping to prevent overcrowding of the plant, which can make it difficult for new growth to form. Pruning should also be done in order to encourage bushier growth, resulting in a fuller, more attractive shape. This species is tolerant of pruning, and when done correctly, will help to keep your Californian blue-eyed grass healthy and beautiful.
