Cool-season annual wildflower
Baby Blue Eyes
Soft sky-blue annual flowers for cool-season color, borders, and naturalistic garden edges.
Baby Blue Eyes makes a low, soft carpet of sky-blue flowers with pale centers—small blooms that can make a spring patch feel surprisingly expansive. It is especially charming along paths, at the front of borders, in drifts, and beside other cool-toned annuals. The plant prefers mild weather and usually gives its best show before intense summer heat arrives.
