Description

Become enchanted by the bright blue eyes of this USA native wildflower that was first discovered on the banks of the Suwannee River.

Sisyrinchium nashii 'Suwannee' blooms pastel blue, star-shaped flowers with cheery yellow centers in early summer (hence the name "Nash's blue-eyed grass," or just "blue-eyed grass"). It thrives in part shade to shade, but can handle full sun in cooler climates with sufficient moisture.

Sisyrinchium 'Suwannee' Blue-Eyed Grass's airy habit would make it a cute addition to native, pollinator, and cottage gardens.

Note: This plant is commonly, though incorrectly, referred to as Sisyrinchium angustifolium 'Suwannee'.

We ship via UPS & USPS (the Post Office), and their ship rates are automatically generated through our site. We do not profit on shipping costs. We are working with these providers to get our customers the best rates possible.

All ship times are subject to change if extreme weather conditions are present here at the nursery or at the shipping destination.

Please note: Depending on the time of year, the foliage of the plants may be trimmed to fit into our shipping boxes. This could delay the flowering of the plant, but many perennials actually benefit from being cut back.

We are currently not able to ship to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and outside of the US.
