Description: Despite its name Common Blue-eyed grass is not a grass! This small-structured prairie plant

is in the Iris family. Its leaves are fine and look like grass before it blooms. While small this plant is a

tough drought tolerant species. Use it in gardens with other smaller plants as it does not do well with

competition from larger species. It is a well-behaved species and will spread only through re-seeding or

division of the clump.
