Spiderwort |

This American hybrid selection has narrow grassy foliage, forming a compact mound that is studded with a summer-long display of small white triangular flowers, each with a flush of light blue in the centre. Flowering will continue all summer if old blooms are removed. Spiderworts appreciate a moist, rich soil, and will even tolerate wet sites beside a stream or pond. Trim back in midsummer if plants get scruffy. Clumps may be easily divided in early spring. Attractive to butterflies.
