Tradescantia andersoniana 'Sweet Kate' produces beautiful, large clusters of periwinkle blue flowers with yellow stamens. It is a great choice for any landscape! 

The genus is named for John Tradescant and his son--gardeners to King Charles I of England. The name Spiderwort comes from the sap: when a leaf or stem is torn, the sap forms a threadlike strand that hardens like spider silk -- now you know!

Homeowner Growing Tips: Grow in full sun to full shade, in moist, fertile soil. Plants grow best in part shade but are adaptable to all light levels, as well as most soil types, including clay. Cut tired foliage back when flowering has finished to promote a second round of blooms. Divide in autumn or spring. Often re-seeds & spreads a bit--transplant seedlings as you find them.
