Formerly known as Bermuda Blue-eyed Grass, Lucerne is a gorgeous variey of our local Blue-eyed Grass. This one forms rather stiff upright clumps to 12 inches and has quite large (1 1/2"), sky blue flowers with a deeper blue-purple throat and yellow eyes. It is a late spring and early summer bloomer for full sun or light shade and average soil. Clumps can eventually spread to a foot or so around. It might look great with any of the Wild Indigos, Stokesia, Sundrops, or 'Morris Berd' Phlox. Cat# 1426
