Tradescantia ohiensis / SPIDERWORT
Tradescantia ohiensis, commonly known as Ohio Spiderwort, is a perennial native to the Midwest and parts of the eastern United States, valued for its delicate, vibrant flowers and adaptable growing habits. In late spring to early summer, it produces clusters of three-petaled, purple to blue flowers with a yellow center, which bloom in succession, creating a long-lasting display. The plant features narrow, lance-shaped leaves that form clumps, with the foliage offering an attractive backdrop to the flowers. Ohio Spiderwort thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soils, making it a great choice for wildflower meadows, native plant gardens, or mixed borders. With its charming flowers, ease of care, and ability to attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, Tradescantia ohiensis is a wonderful addition to any garden that celebrates native flora.
