Sisyrinchium californicum - Yellow Eyed Grass
Sisyrinchium californicum grows on the West coast of North America from Central California North. Sisyrinchium californicum grows to about a foot tall. Sisyrinchium californicum can be found in meadows or emergent wetlands. While it can survive a dry Summer a moist Spring helps a lot. Sisyrinchium californicum blooms with yellow flowers from mid-Spring through to Summer. The Yellow Eyed Grass grows in a dense clump 8-12" tall. Where conditions are good Sisyrinchium californicum will spread by seed. If growing the Yellow eyed grass near a stream, keep it back and up so the crown dries out. In a dry meadow setting, shear off the dried foliage in Winter to allow the new growth to look its best. Yellow Eyed Grass is hardy into the mid teens.
