Latin Nemophila menziesii
Baby Blue Eyes Nemophila is a stunningly beautiful and low growing (4-6") California native. The short, tidy plants light up with sky blue cupped flowers that will bloom early and continue until high heat conditions. In cooler summer climates this beauty will flower right through the summer season until they are killed by frost. If conditions are right and you're a little lucky they will self-sow. Like other varieties of Nemophila, these are highly attractive to bees and other beneficial pollinators. Great for borders, planters and the front row of any flower bed. Plant in areas with some shade if your climate zone has high heat summers to prevent scorching.
Growing Nemophila from seed is quite easy and one that we recommend directly sowing. These seeds need light to germinate so barely cover the seeds when you do sow. They are tolerant of light frost so this one can be done mid-may even in the prairies. Germination should occur between 7 and 21 days. During this critical period maintain soil moisture. Thin to approximately 4" for best results but tighter spacing will be tolerated by this small species.
