Description
Sisyrinchium angustifolium, commonly known as Blue-Eyed Grass, is a delicate marginal pond plant that produces masses of striking blue, satin-like flowers with bright yellow centres from late spring into early summer. Despite its grass-like appearance, it is actually a flowering perennial that brings a soft, natural look to pond edges and bog gardens.
Forming neat clumps of slender green foliage, this compact plant is ideal for softening pond margins, planting in baskets, or adding colour to damp borders. The star-shaped blooms open in sunlight and gently close in the evening, creating subtle movement and interest throughout the day.
Best planted in shallow water or consistently moist soil, Sisyrinchium angustifolium is low maintenance and easy to grow, making it a great choice for both new and established ponds.
