$8.99
'Concord Grape,' of the virginiana group, offers compact clumps of grassy, gray-green leaves (about 12" tall) that contrast nicely with the large (over 1"), dark purple-pink flowers.
Spiderworts are often underused as perennials in our yards. Maybe this is because we can still see some wild colonies of native spiderwort in the countryside, but even the wild forms should be present in our gardens - they are versatile plants, valuable for pollinators, very modest and adaptable, and have a relatively long flowering period.
'Concord Grape' is suitable for many types of gardens, including some naturalizing. It is recommend to cut back the clump after the first big flower to induce new leaf growth and late summer flowering. Surprisingly tolerant to shorter-term droughts.
Blooming Time: June/July, often reblooms later on
Size: 12-15'' high x up to 12’’ wide
USDA Zones: 4a to 9b
Culture: full sun to half-shade; most happy in fertile, loamy soil with medium moisture, but is very adaptable to soil type – sandy, clay soils (neutral, alkaline, acid)
Moisture Needs: medium-dry, average, medium-moist
Origin: Hybrid that phylogenetically is situated within the series of Virginiae (virginiana group) = T. ohiensis × (T. subaspera × T. virginiana)
Deer/Rabbit Resistant: yes/yes
Attracts Butterflies or Pollinators: bees and butterflies
Attracts Hummingbirds: no
Pot Size: square 3.5" x 4" deep perennial pot (1.22 pt/580 ml)
Plant Combinations: as Tradescantia touches both habitats – sunny up to half shade – there can be thousands of great perennial combinations for both. In a sunny border, plant it with perennials like Aquilegia, Geranium, Hemerocallis (daylily), Iris x germanica, Knautia macedonica, Monarda, Paeonia, some species of Nepeta (N. subsessilis, N. kubanica, even N. x faasenii), Salvia nemorosa, or Sedum telephium. In half- shade spots it goes well with Amsonia, Heuchera, Geranium, Iris, early-flowering woodland Phloxes like Phlox divaricata, or non-native perennials like Brunnera, Bergenia, Hosta. Pairs well with grasses and ferns, too.
