Plant Growing Tips

Where to Grow

Baby Blue Eyes (*Nemophila menziesii*) thrives in full sun to partial shade. This charming wildflower is ideal for rockeries, containers, and garden borders, where its delicate blue blooms can add a pop of color. Ensure the planting site has well-draining soil, as Baby Blue Eyes prefer slightly dry to moist conditions.

Climate

Best suited for temperate climates, Baby Blue Eyes grows well in temperatures between 10°C and 20°C. It blooms from late winter to early summer, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies.

Soil Type

Plant Baby Blue Eyes in well-draining, sandy or loamy soil. The ideal pH range is slightly acidic to neutral (6.0-7.0). Adding organic matter, such as compost, helps improve soil texture and moisture retention.

Fertilizer

Feed sparingly with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early spring. This annual wildflower typically requires minimal fertiliser to thrive.
