SISYRINCHIUM Sapphire
While at the garden centre the other day, in my 'alpine' frame of mind, I discovered this, a beautiful Sisyrinchium 'Sapphire'. While I have grown many alpines in the past, mostly, I admit, the ones that many people are familiar with, I had never seen this before.
This is what the label has to say:

This is what the label has to say:
Exquisite star shaped sapphire blue flowers with yellow eyes bloom over lance shaped emerald green foliage in late spring and early summer. This lovely 'blue-eyed grass' is perfect for bringing a sparkle to rockeries and alpine troughs and sinks. It looks fabulous in pebble and gravel gardens or try planting in containers. Height: 20cm (8in) x Spread: 15cm (6in); Position: Full sun in moist but well drained soil.
