Sisyrinchium californicum – Yellow-Eyed Grass
Bright yellow flowers and neat, grass-like foliage bring cheerful color to moist garden spaces.
Sisyrinchium californicum is a compact, grass-like perennial in the iris family, not a true ornamental grass. Its narrow green leaves form tidy clumps accented by small, star-shaped yellow flowers in spring and summer. Yellow-Eyed Grass is a natural choice for pond edges, rain gardens, and mixed borders where the soil stays consistently moist. Tuck it along pathways or between moisture-loving perennials to enjoy its delicate flowers up close.
