A charming selection of the Blue-eyed Grass, valuable in the rock garden as well as for edging in the border. Plants form a low clump of grassy green leaves, bearing bright blue star-shaped flowers in late spring for several weeks. Not really a grass, these are close cousins to the more familiar garden Iris. This selection is one of the best for areas with hot, humid summers. Note that when grown in a container, it may not perform exactly as indicated on the tag - this is to be expected. Also note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden. Be aware that in our climate, most plants cannot be expected to survive the winter if left in containers outdoors, and this plant is no exception. NOTE: Some flowers and plants may be harmful or poisonous to people or pets if touched or ingested. If you require more information before placing an order, please let us know in advance. |
