About Baby blue eyes
Baby blue eyes is a real gem for your garden. This California native produces the most delightful pale blue flowers with darker blue spots, and they bloom cheerfully all spring and into early summer. The flowers are irresistible to native bees and other pollinators, so you'll bring wonderful wildlife into your yard while enjoying the show. It's a sweet little plant that just makes you smile.
This one is wonderfully easy to grow. It's an annual, meaning you plant it once and it does its thing in a single season. Just give it a spot with decent sunlight and soil that doesn't stay soggy, and baby blue eyes will take care of itself. The seeds sometimes reseed themselves too, giving you volunteers year after year. You really can't go wrong with this friendly little wildflower.
