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.

Not for Honda Civics
I just want to start with saying that this is beautiful and very high quality. I really wasn’t expecting much with the price point being so low. But the cover is very soft and cozy. It is too big for my 2018 honda civic center console, I really wish it fit because I love this thing! I’ve just had it next to me while I sit on the couch and have been petting it the last couple hours. I’ll find somewhere else to put it because it’s that soft and pretty. If this will fit your car than I 100% recommend it!

Very pretty, has a bit of a smell
Only docking this item one star because of the smell. It's genuine sheepskin so it definitely smells like.... sheep. I've never bought genuine sheepskin before so I'm not sure if that's always the case. I think after it airs out for a while it should be fine, but it was a little off-putting for me at first. Besides that though it looks BEAUTIFUL. I bought it to cover up some dog claw marks on the center console since I got my car used. It covers them up, and also makes my car look fancier. I think it should last a long time as long as I make sure to not spill anything on it. Overall, it seems very well made, is super soft and comfortable, was good value, fit really well on the center console (I have a Subaru Forester), and it was totally worth getting.

fits 2013 honda civic, fades to a weird blue and looks matted scruffy
Fluffy and cute! This is all I hoped it would be. It is a piece of real sheepskin with a couple of pieces of elastic sewn to the bottom to attach it to the console cover. This makes it somewhat versatile concerning fit. It is just long enough for the console in my Honda Civic, which I believe is about 11 3/4 x 6 inches. The fluffiness of the cover allows for some slack in coverage, so it does adequately cover my console. I was pleased to see that I actually got the long-haired one. I am very pleased with the product. If it hadn't worked in the car I might have kept it in the house to pet it! Update: Over a few months the silver fur, which I thought was a natural wool color, has faded to a washed out pale aqua, and this looks very scruffy. The elastic bands that hold it in place over the console show now that it is less fluffy. I will probably wash it and see whether that will improve the situation, but I suspect this will renew the curl, and leave the band exposed. I have downgraded this to a 3 from a 5. Further update: This looks terrible. Very scruffy, slides around. I did wash it, but it did this did not renew or make it look like natural sheepskin. Whatever processing and dying they did not this seems to have removed the natural curl. I would have preferred no dye and processing, and a natural piece of sheepskin, probably bigger to account for getting matted and smaller as it ages. Note: This one is bigger than some of these on Amazon, so measure your console and consider the size. This one barely fit when it was new.

Love it !!
Color: Black
I have own sheepskin covers and this armrest cover didn’t disappoint. I bought this for a friend and she loved it. Soft and keeps its fur like shape. The fur did not clump after being used. I would definitely recommend.
