Know before you buy
Yes, Spiderwort is remarkably adaptable. While it will bloom most prolifically in sunnier spots, it is one of the few perennials that maintains healthy foliage and consistent flowering even in deep shade.
To create a dense, carpet-like effect, space your plants about 12 to 15 inches apart. This allows the foliage to fill in and knit together over the first growing season.
This product is sold as a mixed color variety, meaning you will receive a blend of white, blue, and pink blooms. You cannot select a specific color, but the combination provides a natural, meadow-like aesthetic.
Spiderwort is naturally low-maintenance and will continue to produce flowers from early summer through fall without the need for constant deadheading. However, if the foliage looks tired mid-season, you can shear the plant back to encourage a fresh flush of growth.
Spiderwort is quite resilient and hardy in zones 4 through 9. It is well-equipped to handle cold winters in these regions and will return reliably each spring.
