Tradescantia Concord Grape

Common Name: Spiderwort

Clumps of grassy blue-green foliage with concord-grape-colored flowers contrast nicely.

Flowers from late spring and mid-summer. Cut back foliage after flowering to encourage re-blooming.

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.

Height: 15-18"

Spread: 18-24"

Exposure: Part sun
