The baby blue eyes flower is easy to start from seed. Choose a site with full sun to partial shade and one that provides some shelter from drying winds. The plant does well in sandy, gritty soils and has some drought tolerance. In fact, light sandy soil makes the best seed bed for the baby blue eyes flower, as it drains well. Wait until soils warm to nearly 60 degrees F. (16 C.) before sowing the tiny seeds. Sow seeds just under a fine layer of soil about 1/16 inch (2 mm.) thick. Baby blue eyes flower will germinate in seven to ten days where there is cool weather and short days. Keep the seed bed lightly moist until germination. Baby blue eyes plant seeds readily but does not transplant well. Fortunately, the plant is easy to sow and takes off quickly.
