Plant Information
Characteristics: Short, grasslike, flattened leaves are arranged in a clump, parallel to the flowering stem. The flowers are mostly blue to purple, yellow in the case of S. californicum, all single flowers of six petals, rounded, sometimes with a pointed tip.
Culture: Grows in full sun to partial shade, moist to dry conditions, depending on species. There's a native Sisyrinchium, therefore, for every garden!
Maintenance: Virtually maintenance-free.
Pests & Diseases: Does not seem to be particularly troubled by pests or diseases.
Propagation: Some will self-seed more readily than others, or seeds can be collected from their capsules and planted soon thereafter, in late summer into fall, or stored in a cool, dry space for planting in early spring.
Clumps of plants can also be divided in the early spring or late summer, which is probably the most reliable method.
