    Comments about American Meadows Blue Starflower - Bag of 30:

    Love this little flower. The greenery that comes up looks a little like a short version of monkey grass. You may want to use it areas like you would a monkey grass such as lining a walkway or edging a flower bed. It is a very low growing plant. This is the second spring that I have had it. It has increased in volume and produces many cute little light blue flowers. It blooms very early and continues for about a month for me. I was impressed with this little flower. It requires little maintenance, and I feel like it is a very hardy flower once established.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
