     Blue-eyed Grass is a native, perennial Wisconsin wildflower. It grows to a height of four to 12 inches tall and produces small blue or violet flowers with yellow centers that resemble miniature irises. The leaves are narrow and grass-like in appearance. Blue-eyed Grass grows best in full sun to partial shade in moist to dry soils in prairies, meadows, open woodlands, rocky slopes, or along roadsides.
