'''''Sisyrinchium''''' ('''Blue-eyed Grasses''') is a [[genus]] of 70-150 [[species]] of [[annual plant|annual]] to [[perennial plant|perennial]] [[flowering plant|plants]] of the [[Iridaceae|iris family]], native to the [[New World]]. These are not true [[grass]]es, but many species have the general appearance of grasses, as they are low-growing plants with long, thin leaves. They often grow on grasslands. Many species resemble [[Iris (plant)|iris]]es, to which they are more closely related. Most species grow as [[perennial plant]]s, from a [[rhizome]], though some are short-lived (e.g. S. striatum), and some are [[Annual plant|annuals]] (e.g. ''S. iridifolium''). The flowers are relatively simple and often grow in clusters. Many species, particularly the South American ones, are not blue, despite the common name. The genus includes species with blue, white, yellow, and purple petals, often with a contrasting centre. Of the species in the United States, the [[Western Blue-eyed Grass]], ''Sisyrinchium bellum'', is sometimes found with white flowers, while the [[California Golden-eyed Grass]], ''Sisyrinchium californicum'', has yellow flowers. ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== == Species == {{main|List of Sisyrinchium species}} [[Image:Sisyrinchium_albidum.jpg|thumb|''Sisyrinchium albidum'']] There are 17-150 species, including: {| |- valign="top" | * ''[[Sisyrinchium angustifolium]]'' [[Philip Miller|Mill.]] Narrowleaf Blue-eyed Grass * ''Sisyrinchium bellum'' S.
