Narrow-leaf blue-eyed-grass is a charming, low-growing native perennial that produces delicate blue-violet flowers in late spring to early summer. Plant it in full sun to part shade with average, well-drained soil and water regularly during the growing season. It is largely self-sufficient once established and can be divided in spring to propagate new plants.
