Positive JohnDensonRLA On Mar 5, 2012, JohnDensonRLA from Sierra Vista, AZ wrote:

Arizona Blue Eyes is a very attractive, easy-to-grow southwestern native wildflower. Plants are compact and fine-textured and mixes well with cacti and desert shrubs. Use as a seasonal ground cover to fill in bare spots in the landscape. Plant from seed or from plants obtained from a nursery that specializes in native plants.

Blooms from April to October (depending on rainfall). It will survive on native rainfall when established but looks better with a little supplemental irrigation.

Plant in full sun or light shade. This species does not tolerate reflected heat well.
