Tradescantia ‘Perrine’s Pink’


Spiderwort

USDA Zone: 3-9

Plant number: 1.520.630


Spiderwort forms a mound of grassy-looking leaves with a long display of interesting triangular flowers, available in a variety of colours. This selection has delicate soft-pink blooms over a compact mound of blue-green leaves. Plants should be trimmed back hard when blooming ends, to rejuvenate the foliage and encourage repeat bloom in late summer. Happiest in a sunny, moist site. Divide clumps every 2 to 3 years in spring. Flowers are attractive to butterflies.
