With its cup-shaped, vivid-blue flowers and low growth, Baby Blue Eyes makes a delicate yet striking cover for lightly shaded borders and edgings. Let it peek out between the spaces of a white picket fence for a country-garden effect. Let it spread out by itself beneath trees with open canopies or group with other shade-tolerant companions like its cousin Five Spot (Nemophila maculata) and Baby Snapdragon (see Toadflax) (Linaria maroccana). Or go bold in a sunny border with the bright Shirley Poppy (Papaver rhoeas).
