Spiderwort

  • Native  
  • Perennial  
  • Bloom:  Spring & Summer
  • Propagation:  Seed, Cuttings, Division
Spiderwort is a native perenial suitable for the shade garden. Spiderwort is easily propagated from seed. Cut the plant down when it stops blooming and place the cuttings where more spiderwort is desired. The original plants usually spring back by this treatment. Spiderwort is one of the very few plants that I encourage cutting back to get new blooms. I've seen this very tough plant growing in people's lawns that were cut once a month or so and the spiderwort bloomed between mowings.
