As a native Californian annual or perennial, Baby Blue Eyes blooms abundantly from late winter to mid-spring, creating a dreamy carpet of blue in garden beds or pots. While its bushy, verdant foliage provides an irresistible allure, this plant's nectar-rich blooms are a high flyer as well, enticing butterflies effortlessly.

Whether as an eye-catching border, the star of a rockery, or incorporated in container gardening, this plant introduces a serenely vibrant visual element. Notably, once established, it demonstrates remarkable resilience towards drought, underscoring its robust nature. With Baby Blue Eyes, achieving a lush, beautiful landscape has never been easier.
