    Growing & Maintenance Tips:

    Spiderwort can take full sun or partial shade in average soil. It will grow rampantly in moist soil and tolerates anything except drought. After flowering the foliage may sprawl and look untidy, at which time you might cut it down to the ground to rejuvenate it.
