Bluets (Houstonia caerulea) are small, delicate wildflowers native to North America. They typically bloom in spring and early summer, showcasing clusters of tiny, star-shaped blue flowers. These plants thrive in moist, open areas such as meadows, woodlands, and along roadsides, often forming dense patches. The bluets grow to a height of about 6 to 12 inches and have slender, green leaves that are often arranged in a rosette at the base. They are important for local ecosystems, providing nectar for various pollinators, including bees and butterflies. Their charming appearance makes them a favorite among wildflower enthusiasts.
