Spiderwort Plants

The elegant perennial known as spiderwort (genus Tradescantia) produces charming three-petaled blooms in shades of blue, purple, pink or white—held above clumps of slender, grass-like foliage that sway gently in the breeze. Hardy garden varieties form clumps about 30-60 cm tall and do best in full sun to light part shade in evenly moist, well-drained soil—making them a reliable choice for many Canadian gardens. With a long bloom period, minimal fuss once established, and excellent compatibility with mixed borders and naturalistic plantings, these spiderworts offer both ease and perennial beauty. Explore our Wildwood Express collection of spiderwort plants to find one that brings graceful form, soft colour and low-maintenance charm to your garden.
