Description

Zwanenburg Blue Spiderwort is a vigorous, long-blooming perennial that adds vibrant color and graceful texture to the garden from early through late summer. Clusters of rich purple-blue flowers bloom above upright stems and lush, grassy green foliage, creating an eye-catching display that is especially striking when planted in groups. Fast growing and easy to care for, Zwanenburg Blue Spiderwort is an excellent choice for borders, woodland gardens, and naturalized landscapes.

Thriving in part sun to full shade, Zwanenburg Blue Spiderwort prefers evenly moist, well-drained soil and adapts well to a wide variety of garden conditions, including urban environments. Its nectar-rich flowers attract butterflies while deer generally leave it alone. As the foliage may go dormant later in summer, pairing Zwanenburg Blue Spiderwort with later-blooming perennials helps maintain a full, colorful landscape throughout the season. This dependable perennial is ideal for mass plantings, border edging, and woodland gardens.
