"The regular type of Blue-eyed Grass is a perennial remaining under 1 foot high, with small star-shaped flowers with soft blue petals and yellow centers on long, narrow leaves resembling grass. This form, though, has white flowers with yellow eyes. In the wild, plants grow in open woody areas and clumps are small. When grown without competition and given better soil and more moisture, they thrive. This is a good wildflower alternative to Monkey Grass. Several plants can spread to form a border providing crisp white flowers from March into June. Grow in full sun to partial shade."
