spiderwort
Tradescantia virginiana
Common spiderwort, spider lily, Virginia spiderwort
A herbaceous perennial native to eastern and central North America. These clump forming plants reach 2-3 feet tall and produce blue to purple flowers in attractive clusters. They bloom in spring through early summer and may die back in the heat but often regrow and bloom again in the fall.
They prefer moist fertile soil in full sun to part shade. They work well in wooded boarders, along stream banks, or in pollinator gardens. They attract bees and butterflies among other pollinators.
