How to Plant Baby Blue Eyes Seeds
Sow onto the surface of the soil, and compress firmly. Don't cover, as seeds require sunlight to germinate.

Showy and long lasting
What an absolute delight the Baby Blue Eyes are! They pop up in early spring and last for almost a month! I will order these again and again, in fact have thought about giving them out for gifts!
Review
100% germination
These jump out of the ground under suitable germination conditions. I used a winter sowing technique on seeds I purchased a couple of years ago. All of the seeds I planted germinated in a matter or days. Looking forward to the flowers!
Review
Great Germinator
I love these little flowers. They all germinated and are blooming. We're a little late here in zone 7A because we've had a cold wet spring and early summer. They are cascading over the edges of the pots. A+. I wish I could post a picture!
Review
At First Glance
These are doing lovely after scattering on the disturbed roadside in February zone 5. It's always enchanting when you get that first glimpse of a baby blue eye winkin back atcha. Then you see another and another and behold an entire field is awash in them! These are cute peeking out amongst low growers like rock rose iceplant, in flowerpots, or just sprinkled about like fairy dust whithersoever thou goest.

Beautiful - But So Small
I guess I should have known by the name - Duh! These flowers are absolutely beautiful and really easy to grow. The only problem is they kind of get lost in among the other bloomers. I am buying some more to plant just by themselves.
