Description

Also called “Buffalo Eyes”, this little western wildflower native has bright white petals marked with “five spots” of brilliant purple—one on each petal. Like its relative, Baby Blue Eyes, N. menziesii, Five Spot is so short, it is best appreciated in areas of a meadow where taller flowers don’t hide it.

Comments about American Meadows Five Spot Seeds - 1/4 LB:

Love the idea of these in the lawn, but these yielded very few blooms that I could see. I spread liberally in April and again in May in a lawn with bald spots where I expected these to flourish. About 3 to 6 hours of sun per day depending on the spot.
