Sisyrinchium
californicum grows on the West coast of North America from Central
California North. Sisyrinchium californicum can be found in meadows
or emergent wetlands. While it can survive a dry Summer a moist
Spring helps a lot. Sisyrinchium californicum blooms in mid-Spring
through to Summer. The Yellow Eyed Grass grows in a dense clump
8-12" tall. Where conditions are good Sisyrinchium californicum
will spread by seed. If growing the Yellow eyed grass near a stream,
keep it back and up so the crown dries out. In a dry meadow setting,
shear off the dried foliage in Winter to allow the new growth to look its
best. Yellow Eyed Grass is hardy into the mid teens.
