Tradescantia virginiana

Virginia Spiderwort is an iris-like, native perennial found on the Eastern half of the United States. It produces blue to lavender flowers and thrives in part sun, but will tolerate full sun if the soil is consistently moist. In sunny locations, flowers will bloom in the morning and close by evening. In the wild, its often found in edge habitats, meadows, thickets and woodland openings. It seems to stick to areas with trees and shrubs nearby. It’s known to be juglone tolerant (may be planted under Walnut trees). Bumblebees are an important pollinator for this species.
