Baby Blue Eyes

Baby Blue Eyes are as beautifully bright sky-blue as a newborn's eyes! These annual wildflowers are native to the western United States and delicate, sky-blue, cup-shaped 1-2 inch flowers with white centers that bloom in spring. Baby Blue Eyes typically grow to about 6-12 inches in height and spreads 12-18 inches wide, with full green foliage, ideal for creating a lush, colorful ground cover. These dynamic flowers close at night or during overcast conditions and reopen when the sun comes out, creating a fun changing landscape. Famously, in Japan, millions of Baby Blue Eyes bloom every spring, transforming the Hitachi Seaside Park's Miharashi Hill into a breathtaking sea of blue. A producer of both nectar and pollen, Baby Blue Eyes attract bees and other pollinators, making them ideal for pollinator gardens. Baby Blue Eyes is both cool-weather loving and drought-tolerant.
