$150.00
    Details

    Ohio Spiderwort (Tradescantia ohiensis) ushers in the start of summer with a burst of deep blue, three-petaled flowers that open each morning and close by midday. This 32-plant pack is perfect for adding color, resilience, and subtle texture to prairie gardens, meadows, and sunny borders.

    Each bloom features bright yellow anthers that contrast beautifully with its azure petals, drawing in bees and other pollinators during the cooler hours of the day. The plant’s blue-green, grass-like leaves provide visual contrast and blend seamlessly with both flowering perennials and native grasses.

    Ohio Spiderwort is tough and adaptable, thriving in full sun and poor, dry, or compacted soils—though it can tolerate part shade. The petals are edible, and the young leaves can be cooked like greens, making it both a functional and ornamental addition to the garden.

    Why Choose a Tray of Ohio Spiderwort?

    • Striking blue blooms – A pollinator favorite with golden accents.
    • Edible & ornamental – Petals and young leaves are edible.
    • Durable native – Thrives in dry, sunny, and challenging conditions.
