Tradescantia ‘Sweet Kate’ Gold Spiderwort

A great golden bloomer that's super easy to grow. Flowers are from late spring but are the most and best in fall.  Planted in a group with other thigh-high perennials like Phlox 'Jeana' and Crinum 'Bradley'.

Thrives in average to moist soil but tolerates drought easily. Full sun to light shade to full sun.

You can cut it back to stimulate more flowers but if you are a bird watcher, don't--  birds love the seed heads. 

ONE Full Quart plant per order.

A recent trial at Mt. Cuba Center found that ‘Jeana’ attracted more butterflies than any other garden phlox. Overall, it was the winner of their trials of many cultivars. 

Lavender flowers top 4-foot stalks in July. The leaves of this cultivar seem to be mildew-resistant—at least at Mt. Cuba, which is in Pennsylvania. We haven't grown it in the Deep South, but we hope that trait is the same here. Honestly, I just plant this species interspersed with other perennials, and if it gets mildew, I divert my gaze to the flowers.  * Our photos are from Mt. Cuba webpage.

TWO 4-inch, well-rooted, plantable coco pots per order.
