Baby Blue Eyes
$2.50 – $43.50Price range: $2.50 through $43.50
Baby Blue Eyes is a charming, low-growing annual native to the west coast of the United States, particularly California and Oregon. Known for its delicate, sky-blue flowers with distinctive white centers and subtle markings, this plant adds a soft splash of color to gardens in early spring.
Baby Blue Eyes prefers partial shade and thrives in cool temperatures with consistently moist, well-drained soil. It does best in locations that receive filtered sunlight or morning sun but are protected from harsh, direct afternoon sun—making the north side of buildings or shaded garden beds ideal planting spots.
This flower can be started indoors to get a head start on the growing season and transplanted outdoors once temperatures are mild. In USDA hardiness zones 7 through 10, Baby Blue Eyes is best planted in the fall, where it will establish itself and bloom profusely in early spring, providing a beautiful and refreshing burst of color.
Baby Blue Eyes is an excellent choice for woodland gardens, shaded borders, rock gardens, and container planting. Its gentle flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, contributing to a healthy garden ecosystem.
