Tradescantia ohiensis, commonly known as Ohio Spiderwort, is a hardy, native perennial that adds beauty and ecological value to any landscape. This clump-forming plant features arching, grass-like foliage and stunning clusters of vibrant blue to purple flowers that bloom from late spring into midsummer. Each delicate flower lasts only one day, but the plant produces blooms over several weeks, ensuring a continuous display of color.
Ohio Spiderwort thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to a variety of soil types, including sandy or rocky soils. This low-maintenance plant is drought-tolerant once established and ideal for native plant gardens, pollinator gardens, or naturalized areas. The flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, while its adaptability makes it suitable for prairie restorations, wildflower meadows, and rain gardens.
Ohio Spiderwort is an excellent choice for naturalizing in meadows, prairie gardens, or woodland edges. It pairs beautifully with other native perennials like Black-eyed Susan, Butterfly Weed, and Coneflower for a stunning, pollinator-friendly planting. Its grassy foliage and striking flowers make it a versatile addition to rain gardens or as a ground cover in sunny or partially shaded areas.
By planting Tradescantia ohiensis, you help support pollinators and other beneficial insects. As a native plant, it plays a critical role in maintaining local biodiversity and contributes to the health of your garden ecosystem.
