- Description:
Plants have a grass-like appearance. Leaves are flat and originate from short fibrous
roots. Flower stalks arise from the ground. Flowers have six, pointed, white or pale blue
tepals and are yellow at the center.
- Comments:
Although many members of this genus have deep blue flowers, in this species the flowers
are pale blue or white. This plant has the appearance of a grass but is not a true grass.
It is actually a member of the Iris Family. Examine the base of the plant to find the
flat, spreading, fan-like arrangement of the leaves similar to the garden iris. Cattle
avoid this species. Prairie Blue-eyed-grass grows on open prairies in the eastern half of
the state.
