Nemophila menziesii- Baby Blue Eyes – These annuals are bowl-shaped and bright blue with white centers. They bloom in the spring, summer and sometimes winter. They are part of the Waterleaf family and will self-seed in a landscape setting. They do well in moist, well-drained soil and cool summer climates. They grow best in partial sun, will grow between 3 – 6 inches tall, and are also drought tolerant. It’s important to note that they do not like humidity. Make sure to watch out for aphids. They attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators to your gardens. They do well in beds and borders, can be used for edging and groundcovers, and also do well on patios, in containers, and in meadows. What’s great about these showy flowers is that they are easy to grow and low maintenance, making them perfect for the beginning, busy gardener!

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
