Lovely Edger to Accent Walkways
Star-like flowers are violet-blue with a yellow center and reach 1" in diameter over grass-like blades. Sisyrinchium Lucerne will rebloom sporadically in late summer if conditions are favorable. The fine grassy foliage will soften and provide texture and contrast in rock gardens or draped over retaining walls.

Sisyrinchium General Information

Sisyrinchium are semi-evergreen perennials with narrow leaves that appear to be an ornamental grass, but actually belong to the Iris family. Noted for violet-blue flowers with yellow eyes on branched flowering stems. Plants will gradually expand as self-sowing at the base occurs. Ornamental Grasses are restricted from Idaho and Oregon. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Sisyrinchium Plant Care

Tolerates a wide range of soils as long as well drained in winter. Can be sheared back after flowering. If desired divide after flowering.

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!

100% Guarantee

We offer a 100% unconditional guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
