Tradescantia ohiensis


Item Subject: Re: what's in bloom now
     
          <<Which spiderwort do you all grow?  My favorite is one of 
          the coarser ones, Tradescantia ohiensis (Common 
          spiderwort)>>  
          
          That's what I have. I think it is lovely, intermixed with an 
          ancient bed of orange tiger lilies that also has lily of the 
          valley. I really like the purple/blue spiderwort with the 
          orange/yellow lilies. The spiderwort started this week, and 
          the lilies will start opening in the next couple of days. 
          
          This is all in medium shade -- gets about 2 hours sun 7am to 
          9am only. As the bed transitions into deeper shade, 
          unidentified new england ferns start to mix in, and I just 
          planted a oak leafed hydrangea at the end.
