Sisyrinchium striatum | Yellow-Eyed Grass

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Sisyrinchium striatum forms upright fans of narrow, blue green leaves that create a clean, architectural clump through the growing season. In late spring to early summer, slender branching stems rise above the foliage carrying clusters of small, pale creamy yellow flowers, each marked with subtle brownish veining and a soft golden center.

Native to Chile and Argentina, the species grows in open grassy landscapes and foothill regions of South America. In gardens it brings vertical texture to borders, gravel plantings, and naturalistic designs, where the upright foliage and airy flower stems weave comfortably among perennials and ornamental grasses.
