Sisyrinchium convolutum, commonly known as Yellow Eyed Grass, is a semi-deciduous perennial herb native to open grasslands and meadows from Mexico to Peru. This plant typically grows to a height of 0.5-0.7 feet (0.15-0.2 meters) and spreads 1-2 feet (0.3-0.6 meters) wide. It forms clumps of narrow, grass-like leaves and bears bright yellow star-shaped flowers with six petal-like tepals during the summer and fall months. The flowers are moderately showy and attract pollinators.

Yellow Eyed Grass is valued for its vibrant flowers and ability to fill in as a ground cover in garden settings. It is often used in rock gardens, borders, and as an accent in mixed perennial beds. This plant is relatively low-maintenance, requiring only occasional deadheading to promote continued blooming. It prefers full sun to part shade and requires well-drained soil. While it is not known for serious pest or disease problems, it can suffer from root rot if overwatered or planted in poorly drained soils. It can self-seed if conditions are favorable.CC BY-SA 4.0
