Prairie Spiderwort Seeds Tradescantia occidentalis
Prairie Spiderwort is a perennial which is native to the central U.S. It is found in drier plains, prairies and savannas. The blue flowers occur in clusters at the tops of the stems, and they will close in the afternoon in sunny weather. Flowers will stay open longer in cloudy weather. Plants are drought tolerant, and the flowers provide nectar to pollinators in the spring and early summer.

Sowing: Direct sow in late fall, planting just below the surface of the soil. For spring planting, mix the seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 4 months before planting. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination.
