Spiderwort (Tradescantia spp.)

Spiderwort is a tough, easy perennial group that brings quick color and a relaxed, cottage-garden feel to borders, meadows, and naturalized plantings. The three-petaled flowers pop in the morning and add a fresh, lively look when many beds are shifting from spring into summer. Clumps fill in fast, helping you cover ground and soften edges without a lot of maintenance. It is also a flexible choice for mixed plantings because it adapts to a range of soils and light levels when moisture is reasonable.

Distinctive Features

Tradescantia species typically form grassy, arching foliage with upright stems that carry clusters of blooms in shades of blue to violet, with some species and selections also showing pink, purple, or white. Flowers are short-lived but produced in succession, so a planting can keep color going for weeks. Many types handle heat by slowing down after peak bloom, and a midseason cutback often refreshes foliage and can encourage another flush of flowers later. Depending on the species, plants may spread by clumping, short rhizomes, or self-seeding, creating a fuller patch over time.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Full sun to part shade, with afternoon shade helpful in hotter sites for cleaner foliage.
  • Soil: Average to rich, well-drained soil, with best performance in soils that hold consistent moisture.
  • Water: Medium water, with additional watering during dry spells to reduce stress and leaf decline.
  • USDA Zones: Varies by species, with many hardy garden types in zones 4 to 9 and tender types grown as annuals or houseplants in colder areas.
  • Mature Size: Varies by species, commonly about 12 to 36 inches tall and 12 to 24 inches wide.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Plant a bold drift in a sunny to lightly shaded border so the morning blooms create a clear seasonal highlight.
  • Naturalized Areas: Use in meadow-style plantings where clumps can repeat and tie perennials and grasses together.
  • Pollinator Beds: Include in mixed perennial beds to add an easy nectar stop during late spring to summer.
  • Rain Gardens: Choose moisture-tolerant species for spots that stay evenly damp but still drain between rains.
  • Mixed Borders: Pair with coneflowers, black-eyed Susans, ornamental grasses, and salvias for a low-fuss, high-impact look.
  • Cutback Plantings: Use where a midseason trim is acceptable, such as informal borders and mass plantings.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Pruning: Cut stems back after the main bloom to refresh foliage and often encourage a later flush of flowers.
  • Deadheading: Remove spent flower clusters if you want a tidier look and reduced self-seeding.
  • Watering: Water during extended drought to keep clumps vigorous and minimize summer decline.
  • Division: Divide clumps every few years to control spread and keep plants blooming strongly.
  • Support: Avoid overly rich feeding that can cause flopping, and use nearby plants as natural support if needed.

Why Choose Spiderwort?

  • Easy Color: Reliable bloom during the spring to summer transition fills a common gap in perennial borders.
  • Fast Fill: Clumps expand to cover ground and soften bed lines with minimal effort.
  • Adaptable: Performs in a wide range of garden soils and sun levels when moisture is not extreme.
  • Cutback Friendly: Responds well to trimming, which helps keep plantings looking fresh and often boosts rebloom.
  • Pollinator Value: Flowers support visiting pollinators and add movement and life to mixed beds.

If you want a perennial that is easy to grow and generous with color, Spiderwort is a practical choice. Give it consistent moisture, trim it back when it looks tired, and it will settle into a dependable rhythm year after year. Use it in repeating groups for the best effect, and let its relaxed habit blend your planting together.

The Perfect On-The-Go Snack!
Flavor Name: Beef Sticks - Original
I’ve tried countless meat sticks, but these 100% grass-fed beef sticks are in a league of their own. They have officially become my absolute favorite snack, and I make sure to always have a stash on hand in my pantry and gym bag. ​What really sets these apart for me: ​Superior Texture: Unlike so many other brands that are dry or tough to chew, these have the perfect amount of moisture and a "snap" that isn't rubbery. ​Clean Ingredients: It’s hard to find a convenient snack made with such high-quality, grass-fed beef. You can really taste the difference. ​Low Sugar: I love that I’m getting a protein boost without the hidden sugars and fillers found in most jerky products. ​If you're looking for a quick, savory, and healthy snack that actually satisfies, look no further. Highly recommended!

Soft and delicious, but pricey (but worth it if you care about health)
Flavor Name: Venison Sticks - Original
Ugh, I wish these weren't so pricey, but I know it's because of the high-quality and I really do care about that. I'm willing to pay a bit more of grass-fed and finished meat. And these are the perfect quick snack. They're delicious, they're not hard and impossible to bite/chew like some meat sticks, and they give you clean nutrition. I didn't find them particularly greasy either. The packaging is impossible to open, but I wonder if I got a bad set - all of them are fully sealed at the top where normally there are two pieces so that you can peel the package open. All of mine require scissors to cut open which is frustrating but not the end of the world. Again, not sure if that's standard packaging or just a flaw on the ones I got. In any case, they are great and I have already repurchased!

DELISH
Flavor Name: Beef Sticks - Jalapeño
My entire family LOVES these meat sticks. You can taste the freshness. The texture is meaty, No greasy film, no nasty ingredients. I was sold after reading about the fermentation process of these meat sticks. Excellent flavor. I’ll never stop eating these. Jalapeño are my favorite, they aren’t too spicy.

Ten star quality and hands down the best I've ever had
Flavor Name: Venison Sticks - Original
I had a health practitioner suggest I increase protein intake and add in some game meats (venison, bison, elk) along with beef. I found Paleo Valley venison and beef sticks as a great solution to add these to my diet without a big bite in my budget. Paleo Valley provides several beef sticks that are all tasty and will appeal to a variety of consumer preferences though my personal favorite is the venison. All their sources are grass fed and finished, pasture raised and finished. You can instantly taste the difference in quality with your first bite. The sticks are firm and moist, nicely flavored and are simple to carry around as a quick snack or extra protein boost. I found I have less interest in sugary or carb-filled snacks by eating a quality protein source. Many other brands I've tried are hard, dry, heavily spiced and don't really taste natural. Not so with Paleo Valley. As a company, I found them to be very health conscious and have other supplements available, along with really useful educational tips for a healthier lifestyle. I think it's important to leave good reviews when I find something that's exceptional quality and Paleo Valley fits that bill.

BEST GLUTEN FREE BEEF STICKS!
Flavor Name: Beef Sticks - Original
I have bought these mulitple times and now have decided to become a monthly subscriber. I love the fact of the "natural" ingredients, these are truly GLUTEN FREE with no hidden ingredients. The taste is amazing and has the perfect amount of spices, not to much but by NO means bland either. They are always fresh and last a long time. They are never dry, not one single time.
