The flowers are small and the plant is meant to be admired on your knees with the careful eye of a true nature lover. It's an annual species with red seeds and can be grown in full sun to partial shade. In open meadows, plant with well-drained soils or select a rocky outcrop site. As with all native annuals, this plant will spread by seed and form larger patches as long as the area isn't mulched after the seed drops in late spring. In order to germinate, the small seeds need to remain near the soil surface where the fall rains coincide with their germination. Through fall and winter, the new leaves will form blueish-green carpets of small foliage and then go on to bloom the following year in early spring.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv

Collinsia parviflora Small-flowered Blue-eyed Mary

Description

This plant has a blue like no other and to name it might be impossible. The flowers are small and the plant is meant to be admired on your knees with the careful eye of a true nature lover. It's an annual species with red seeds and can be grown in full sun to partial shade. In open meadows, plant with well-drained soils or select a rocky outcrop site. As with all native annuals, this plant will spread by seed and form larger patches as long as the area isn't mulched after the seed drops in late spring. In order to germinate, the small seeds need to remain near the soil surface where the fall rains coincide with their germination. Through fall and winter, the new leaves will form blueish-green carpets of small foliage and then go on to bloom the following year in early spring.

Growing From Seed

Growing your own native plants from seed is the most economical way to add natives to your project or home garden. The seeds of native plants have built-in dormancy mechanisms that protect them from germinating before killing frosts or periods of drought.

In cultivation, the successful gardener must become familiar with these conditions to unlock the dormancy mechanism and stimulate germination. We are developing thorough seed germination categories in the Seed Details section above to help you successfully grow the native seed we sell.
