Blue-eyed grass update

 

It’s now Earth Day, April 22nd, and the plants are blooming even more spectacularly than when they started around March 14th. In about a week, the Penstemon ‘Marguerita BOP’ will join them. The Western Blue Flax is already putting on a show nearby, so that corner of the garden is looking pretty colorful.

Blue-eyed grass only opens its flowers in the sun, and it likes to sleep in a bit before it decides to wake up – so it’s not much of a display during an early morning stroll.
