Details
Tradescantia andersoniana 'Sweet Kate' ('Blue & Gold') displays brilliant chartreuse-green foliage with dark violet-blue blooms in spring and summer. Spiderwort is fantastic in any part-sun location. Deadhead to encourage additional blooming. Once the plant stops blooming cut foliage back almost to the ground to encourage a repeat fall bloom. Divide clumps when plants become over crowded. Warning: Rabbits adore this plant!
