Sisyrinchium californicum - Yellow-Eyed Grass

Sisyrinchium californicum - Yellow-Eyed Grass

Pot Size:  Gallon

This California native hails from slightly higher elevations, but does super well in fog drip areas along the coast- it does love moist places. It's a member of the iris family and looks like a tiny iris or lily. The plant forms small clumps and self-sows, so it will spread itself readily with favorable conditions. Deer Resistant!
