(Spiderwort)

The bold and lovely spiderworts in this hybrid group have an ephemeral beauty. They are all clump-forming perennials with a mixed parentage that includes Tradescantia virginiana, T. ohiensis, and T. subaspera. These parent species are hardy North American natives adapted to moist woodland edges, meadows and prairies. Unlike them, hybrids in the Andersoniana Group are more vigorous and have larger flowers in a wider array of colors.

(Spiderwort)

Large white flowers with lavender-blue centers and lavender-tinged petals offer a different take on the spiderwort theme. The three-petaled flowers open from clustered buds from late spring to midsummer. The handsome sea green leaves of this herbaceous perennial continue to look attractive as long as summer temperatures stay cool. Foliage can be cut to the ground in late summer if it wanes in the heat and begins to look shabby. Plants will put forth a new flush of growth.

(Concord Grape Spiderwort, Spiderwort)

Spiderwort is a clump-forming, grassy-leaved, herbaceous perennial that prefers cool weather and part shade. The hybrid selection 'Concord Grape' bears three-petaled, bright purple-blue flowers from late spring to midsummer.

The semi-double to double flowered ‘Double Trouble’ bears violet-blue flowers in late spring to summer. This is not a common cultivar in commerce. It may be due to the fact that its doubleness is reported to be unstable—meaning plants revert to having single blooms.

(Hairy Spiderwort)

A small drought-tolerant spiderwort that makes a good rock garden plant, this herbaceous perennial from the Southeast United States bears violet or lavender flowers in late spring and early summer. The short-lived, three-petaled blooms open from clustered buds at the apex of calf-high stems. Hairy, grassy, often purple-edged leaves form basal clumps and densely clothe the flowering stems. The leaves die back in summer, returning in late summer and early fall. Plants may self-sow prolifically.
