HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow in late fall, pressing into the surface of the soil. For spring planting, mix the seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 60 days before planting. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which usually occurs within 4-6 weeks.
Growing: Water seedlings regularly until they become established. This plant prefers consistently moist soil, though it must be well-drained. Though established plants tolerate some drought, watering during especially dry weather will improve its blooming. Unless cut back after blooming, this plant will self-sow. Mature plants can be divided. This plant attracts bees.
Harvesting: For cut flowers, choose stems with flowers that have just opened. Place in water immediately.
Seed Saving: After the flowers fade, round seed pods will develop that mature from green to black. When ripe, they will contain mature black seeds. Remove the ripe seed pods and spread them out to dry away from direct sunlight. Crush the dried pods slightly to open them, then separate the seed from the plant material. Store the cleaned seed in a cool, dry place.

Native Plant Seeds
It can be hard to source good native plant seeds, which are much more affordable for the average gardener than buying plants. I will winter sow these seeds as I did last year. I got a high germination rate and enjoyed my lovely plants! The packaging was good, and the order arrived within a few days! Great product, will keep ordering !
Only one in stock....again!
The company lists a lot of things but most of what I want is always out of stock. Packaging still impossible to open and unnecesssary as paper is just as good as plastic coated metal for storing seeds. The plastic zip lock is impossible to open and the metal packets, while pretty, need to be cut open with a scissors. What is the point?
I am sorry you do not like the resealable mylar packets. These packets keep the seeds fresh for years!
Very satisfied
I want to say that I will definitely recommend this company. I received my seeds quickly and well packaged. I can't wait to plant them! I saw blue eyed grass for the first time when we camped and enjoyed it so much I just had to find seeds to plant at home so happy.
blue-eyed grasses
the waiting time for availability of these seeds kept me on edge - that i may not receive any
i hope for some plant specimens for summer . utah valley may not be prime location but i have hopes
Stout Blue Eyed Grass
Adding a grass garden to my yard. This will be an awesome addition.
I so wish these would grow here
I've tried to get these to grow three different times with seeds from three different companies in two different locations. Bummer. I must move on to something else.
Blue-eyed Grass can exhibit a double dormancy trait which is a means of survival for the species. You may see them appear later on when you are not expecting them to show up!
