Description / Tradescantia Red Grape Spiderwort
Tradescantia Red Grape Spiderwort is a mounding perennial that fills the garden with red violet flowers from early summer into early fall. Each three-petaled bloom glows with bright yellow stamens and anthers, set against fan-shaped, blue-green foliage. Plants reach about 15 inches tall and 18 inches wide, and the flowers open during the day before closing by late afternoon and evening.
Red Grape Spiderwort is a smart choice for borders, beds, woodland gardens, mass plantings, and containers. It handles wet, boggy sites where many perennials struggle, and it pairs nicely with daylilies for a long season of color. Butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds visit the flowers, while deer and rabbits tend to leave it alone. The common name comes from the silky, threadlike secretion released when the flower stems are cut, much like a spider web.
Grow this spiderwort in full sun to part shade in average to wet soil, including clay. It tolerates wet feet, so it is a practical choice for low spots that stay moist. Hardy in Zones 4 to 9, it is easy to care for and can be divided every couple of years in spring or fall to create more plants. With its tolerance for wet soil, long bloom season, and jewel-toned flowers, Red Grape Spiderwort solves tricky damp spots with ease.
