Blue-eyed grass is a common but beautiful wildflower, sprinkled over grassy slopes in much of California. 'Rocky Point' has a dwarf habit, with wider leaves than is typical and bright, dark blue violet blossoms. Unwatered plants may shrivel in summer but are quickly renewed by fall rains. Sun, reasonably well drained soil, moderate to little or no watering.
