Macoun's blue-eyed grass is a delicate native perennial from the Pacific Northwest, producing charming violet-blue flowers in spring and early summer. It prefers moist, well-drained soils in partial shade to full sun and is ideal for rock gardens, meadows, or woodland edges. Keep soil consistently moist and avoid letting it dry out completely between waterings.
