Tradescantia ‘Purple Profusion’
Spiderwort |
USDA Zone: 3-9 |
Plant number: 1.520.660
This American hybrid selection has narrow grassy green foliage, forming a compact mound studded with a summer-long display of small triangular rich royal-purple flowers. Flowering will continue all summer if old blooms are removed. Spiderworts appreciate a moist, rich soil, and will even tolerate wet sites beside a stream or pond. Trim back in midsummer if plants get scruffy. Clumps may be easily divided in early spring. Attractive to butterflies.
