***EASY TO GROW NATIVE WIDOW’S TEARS***
5 for $10
This is one of the most forgiving, cheerful natives you can grow. It shoots up in spring with grassy leaves and tall stems topped with clusters of flowers that bloom for weeks. Each flower lasts just a day, but new ones open daily, giving the plant a long flowering season from spring into early summer. This variety has light blue flowers and grows about 12 in tall.
Easy to grow in sun or shade, clay or loam, dry or moist soils—it is the definition of beginner-friendly. Plant it where you’ll see it often, because the flowers are little daily surprises!
It goes by many names- spiderwort, widow’s tears, Tradescantia, etc.
