Blue-eyed grass is the common name given to a genus (Sisyrinchium) of small flowering plants in the iris family.

Species in the genus grow among grasses in wetland areas of meadows and fields throughout much of the United States.

Their colorful petals stand out against their green background.

There is little history of its use as a food source.
