In its natural habitat, the aptly named Baby Blue Eyes forms a sea of sky-blue blooms with paler centres stretching as far as the eye can see. In the garden, their low-growing habit makes them an excellent foil for taller blooms. Try planting them en masse or mix things up for a cottage garden effect. They're quite drought tolerant and like quite poor, sandy soils, so they'll thrive in rockeries too. Once you have them, they should self-seed rather well, giving you years of pleasure.
