Spiderworts produzieren weiße, rote, violette, lavendelfarbene oder rosa Blüten über einen langen Zeitraum. Sie bevorzugen einen feuchten Boden mit durchschnittlicher Fruchtbarkeit. Boden, der zu feucht oder zu fett ist, lässt Pflanzen umkippen. Die Pflanze wächst in der Sonne oder im Halbschatten, bevorzugt jedoch Halbschatten. Nach der Blüte können sie zurückgeschnitten werden, um neues Laub zu fördern und eventuell im Frühherbst zu blühen. Pflanzen, die mit der Blüte fertig sind, können ein schlechtes Aussehen erzeugen.

Ausbreitung ist durch Teilung im Frühling.

FAQ - 💬

❓ Is spiderwort the same as Tradescantia?

👉 As a genus, Tradescantia is part of the Commelinaceae family, also called the spiderwort or dayflower family – so named because many species in this family have flowers that only last a single day.

❓ Does the spiderwort plant like sun or shade?

👉 partial shadeSpiderwort is not overly picky about available sunlight. While the plant tends to prefer partial shade, it does well in almost any environment, as long as it gets at least a few hours of light per day and enough water if exposed to all-day sunlight.

❓ Where is the best place to plant spiderwort?

👉 Spiderworts typically grow in moist, well-drained, and acidic (pH 5 to 6) soil, though I have found the plants to be quite forgiving in the garden and tolerant of many soil conditions. Spiderwort plants do best in partial shade but will do equally well in sunny areas as long as the soil is kept moist.

❓ Should spiderwort be cut back after blooming?

👉 Spiderwort enjoys moist soil, especially in containers. Cut your plants back after the flowering season ends, allowing for overwintering of the plant. Cutting them back also prevents the seeding of the plant as well. Gardeners can cut back the stems to around 8 to 12-inches, and divide the plants every three years.

❓ What are the benefits of spiderwort?

👉 Virginia Spiderwort has a variety of medicinal uses within the traditions of Cherokee healers. It was made into tea to ease stomach aches and constipation. It is used as part of a tea with other herbs for kidney issues and “ailments or rupture” related to the uterus. A poultice of the root is used for cancer.

❓ How big do spiderwort plants get?

👉 Virginia spiderwort is a large but dainty perennial to 3 ft. with long, bright-green, narrow leaves. The thick clump of slender, branched stalks are topped by groups of blue or purplish, three-petaled flowers up to 2 in. across.

❓ Is Virginia spiderwort toxic to dogs?

👉 Two toxic perennial spring-flowering plants are lily-of-the-valley and daffodils, and both are toxic to humans and pets. An alternative to lily-of-the-valley is Virginia spiderwort, and instead of daffodils, plant spring crocuses. Avoid fall crocuses, though, which are highly toxic.

❓ Is Virginia spiderwort invasive?

👉 Spiderwort is invasive and tough to eradicate.

❓ How quickly does spiderwort spread?

👉 They may take several weeks to propagate in early spring. In our wildflower garden, spiderwort plants are combined with orange daylilies, yellow flag irises, multiple colored bearded irises, red bee balm, a large oakleaf hydrangea, salmon and purple-flowered columbine, and ornamental grass.
