Yet another flower favorite and must have for the garden is the spiderwort (Tradescantia) plant. These interesting flowers not only offer something different to the landscape but are extremely easy to grow and care for.
Spiderwort Flowers
They only remain open for a day (blooming in morning hours and closing at night), but the multiple flowers will continually bloom for up to four to six weeks in summer. The plant’s foliage consists of arching grass-like leaves that will grow about a foot or two in height, depending on the variety.
Since spiderwort plants grow in clumps, they’re great for use in borders, edging, woodland gardens and even containers.
Growing spiderworts is easy and you’ll find the plants to be quite resilient. They’re hardy in USDA plant hardiness zones 4-9 and will tolerate more than what one would expect. Spiderwort plants do best in partial shade but will do equally well in sunny areas as long as the soil is kept moist.
If starting spiderwort seeds indoors, do so about eight weeks prior to transplanting outside. It should take anywhere from 10 days to six weeks for germination to occur. Hardened seedlings can be transplanted outdoors about a week after the last spring frost.
Spiderwort as an Indoor Plant
You can grow spiderwort indoors too as long as suitable conditions are given. Provide the plant with either a soilless mix or loam-based potting compost and keep it in bright filtered light. You should also pinch out the growing tips to encourage bushier growth.
Since spiderwort is a vigorous grower, it’s probably a good idea to divide the plants in spring every three years or so.
