Tradescantia Sweet Kate

Common Name: Spiderwort

Clumps of grassy like bright chartreuse foliage with purple flowers contrast nicely.

If planted in more sun the foliage will turn to a yellow color.

Flowers from late spring and throughout summer.

It gets its common name from a secretion that is released when cut becomes threadlike and silky upon hardening similar to a spider's web.

Use in beds and borders. Attracts butterflies. The perfect addition to the shade garden.
