Tradescantia 'Sweet Kate,' commonly known as Spiderwort, is a striking perennial known for its vibrant, chartreuse-yellow foliage that provides year-round interest, even when it’s not in bloom. In late spring to early summer, the plant produces clusters of vivid blue, three-petaled flowers that contrast beautifully with the bright foliage, adding a burst of color to the garden. 'Sweet Kate' thrives in partial to full sun and well-drained, moderately moist soils, making it ideal for mixed borders, wildflower gardens, or containers. This hardy variety is known for its easy care, being both deer-resistant and tolerant of drought once established, though it benefits from regular watering during hotter months. With its showy flowers, striking foliage, and low-maintenance nature, Tradescantia 'Sweet Kate' is a fantastic choice for gardeners looking to add vibrant color and texture to their landscape.
