Ohio Spiderwort Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds bring gentle beauty and ecological value to native gardens and naturalized landscapes. This hardy perennial produces clusters of delicate blue to lavender, three-petaled flowers that open fresh each morning and close as midday heat arrives, creating a unique and ever-changing display from late spring through midsummer.

Growing 2–3 feet tall, Ohio Spiderwort forms attractive clumps of arching, grass-like foliage topped with repeated flushes of blooms. Each flower lasts only a day, but plants continuously produce new blossoms over several weeks, ensuring long-lasting color and pollinator activity.

Ohio Spiderwort is especially valuable for native bee conservation, serving as an important nectar source for bumblebees while also attracting butterflies, beetles, flies, and skipper butterflies. Adapted to a wide range of conditions, it thrives in sandy, loam, or clay soils and performs well in both full sun and partial shade across zones 3–9.

Beyond its ornamental and ecological benefits, spiderwort has a long history of practical use. Young shoots, leaves, and flowers are edible raw or cooked, with a mild flavor often compared to asparagus or green beans. The plant is also known for its unique sensitivity to radiation, with stamen hairs that shift color under exposure, making it a notable species in environmental studies.

Morning-Blooming Beauty for Native Gardens:

• Blue to lavender flowers that open in cool morning hours
• Continuous blooms from late spring through midsummer
• Graceful 2–3 foot clumps of grass-like foliage
• Ideal for prairie gardens, woodland edges, and pollinator habitats

Why Customers Love Ohio Spiderwort:

• Native perennial wildflower adapted to North American climates
• Highly beneficial for bumblebees and other pollinators
• Edible leaves, shoots, and flowers
• Adaptable to sun or partial shade and varied soil types
• Deer resistant and low maintenance once established
• Self-seeds gently to form expanding naturalized colonies

How to Use / How to Grow:
Sow Ohio Spiderwort seeds on the soil surface or lightly cover, as light supports germination. Plant in full sun to partial shade and keep soil evenly moist during establishment. Once mature, plants tolerate a wide range of conditions and require little care. Allow some flowers to go to seed to encourage natural spreading and long-term colony development. Cutting plants back after flowering can encourage fresh foliage growth.
