Maiden blue-eyed Mary is a delicate native annual wildflower best suited for woodland edges, rock gardens, or naturalized settings. It prefers cool, moist conditions with partial shade and will self-seed readily once established. Minimal care is needed — simply provide moisture in dry periods and let it naturalize naturally.
