Baby Blue Eyes Planting and Care Guide

Quick Facts About Baby Blue Eyes

Baby Blue Eyes is an annual ground cover that grows in USDA zones 3 through 9. It is a prolific bloomer and the blooms are excellent at attracting various pollinators. It readily self-seeds when the flowers die, making it likely to return each year with new plants.

These planting instructions will also work for Nemophila Baby Black Eyes or also called Pennie Black.

Planting Time

Baby Blue Eyes seeds can be started directly outdoors in the early spring once all danger of frost has passed. In regions with mild winters, these seeds can even be started in late February or early March.

Planting Location

Baby Blue Eyes thrive in full sun to partial shade and in fertile, moist, well-draining soil. Baby Blue Eyes can be a container plant or a edging ground cover in the garden. The plant does not transplant well, so plant the seeds where it will continue to grow.

How to Plant Baby Blue Eyes

  • Work the soil to a depth of 6 - 8 inches
  • Add compost to improve the soil
  • Sow the seeds and cover with 1/8 inch of soil
  • Keep the seeds moist for germination
  • Thin seedlings to about 6 inches apart
  • Pinch the seedlings once or twice to encourage a bushier growth habit

Care And Maintenance

How Much Seed Do I Need?

1. Measure

For Squares or Rectangles: measure the length and width of the space where you want to plant. 

For Circles: find the radius - measure the widest part of your planting space and divide by 2.

2. Calculate Square Footage

Square Foot Calculations

For Squares or Rectangles:  length (in feet)  x  width (in feet) = square feet

For example, a garden that measures 50 feet x 30 feet = 1500 sq. ft.

For Circles:   radius (in feet) x  radius  x 3.14 = square feet

For example, a circular garden that is 20 feet across has a radius of 10 feet. 10 x 10 x 3.14 = 314 sq. ft.

(The mathematical formula for the area of a circle is Π · r2 - the Π symbol is pronounced Pi and represents approximately 3.142, and r2 stands for radius squared.)

3. Find How Much Seed You Need

The amount of seed you should plant depends on the flower display you want. We typically recommend planting on the higher side for a lush meadow. Plant on the lower side for a more scattered look. 

For Individual Species: The recommended rates vary greatly from species to species. Check the product page, or contact us with questions.

For Wildflower Mixes: Reference the table below.

This Much Seed Covers... This Much Square Footage
1/4 lb 250 - 500 sq. ft.
1/2 lb 500 - 1,000 sq. ft.
1 lb 1,000 - 2,000 sq. ft.
5 lbs 5,000 - 10,000 sq. ft.
10 lbs 10,000 - 25,000 sq. ft.
Acreage
  • 1 Acre = 43,000 sq.ft.
  • 1/2 Acre = 21,500 sq. ft.
  • 1/4 Acre = 10,750 sq.ft.
  • 1/10 Acre = 4,300 sq. ft.

Tips For Larger Plantings: If you have a large site, from 1/2 acre to several acres, your planting rate may be affected by land conditions. If you have heavy weeds on the site now, some erosion, generally poor soil, or other land problems, additional seed is usually the most economical solution, since installation of a large planting usually costs more than the seed itself. If your site does have these problems and you want full coverage, use 1 pound per 1000 sq. ft.
