About This Plant
An adaptable plant, this spiderwort can grow in medium-wet to dry soils. Its blue blooms open in the morning sun and close in the mid-day heat and only last for a day, but the plant typically flowers for over a month in early summer. Bumblebees are a common pollinator. Deer, rabbits, and even box turtles might nibble the foliage.
