Spiderwort (Tradescantia spp.)

Spiderwort is a tough, easy perennial group that brings quick color and a relaxed, cottage-garden feel to borders, meadows, and naturalized plantings. The three-petaled flowers pop in the morning and add a fresh, lively look when many beds are shifting from spring into summer. Clumps fill in fast, helping you cover ground and soften edges without a lot of maintenance. It is also a flexible choice for mixed plantings because it adapts to a range of soils and light levels when moisture is reasonable.

Distinctive Features

Tradescantia species typically form grassy, arching foliage with upright stems that carry clusters of blooms in shades of blue to violet, with some species and selections also showing pink, purple, or white. Flowers are short-lived but produced in succession, so a planting can keep color going for weeks. Many types handle heat by slowing down after peak bloom, and a midseason cutback often refreshes foliage and can encourage another flush of flowers later. Depending on the species, plants may spread by clumping, short rhizomes, or self-seeding, creating a fuller patch over time.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Full sun to part shade, with afternoon shade helpful in hotter sites for cleaner foliage.
  • Soil: Average to rich, well-drained soil, with best performance in soils that hold consistent moisture.
  • Water: Medium water, with additional watering during dry spells to reduce stress and leaf decline.
  • USDA Zones: Varies by species, with many hardy garden types in zones 4 to 9 and tender types grown as annuals or houseplants in colder areas.
  • Mature Size: Varies by species, commonly about 12 to 36 inches tall and 12 to 24 inches wide.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Plant a bold drift in a sunny to lightly shaded border so the morning blooms create a clear seasonal highlight.
  • Naturalized Areas: Use in meadow-style plantings where clumps can repeat and tie perennials and grasses together.
  • Pollinator Beds: Include in mixed perennial beds to add an easy nectar stop during late spring to summer.
  • Rain Gardens: Choose moisture-tolerant species for spots that stay evenly damp but still drain between rains.
  • Mixed Borders: Pair with coneflowers, black-eyed Susans, ornamental grasses, and salvias for a low-fuss, high-impact look.
  • Cutback Plantings: Use where a midseason trim is acceptable, such as informal borders and mass plantings.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Pruning: Cut stems back after the main bloom to refresh foliage and often encourage a later flush of flowers.
  • Deadheading: Remove spent flower clusters if you want a tidier look and reduced self-seeding.
  • Watering: Water during extended drought to keep clumps vigorous and minimize summer decline.
  • Division: Divide clumps every few years to control spread and keep plants blooming strongly.
  • Support: Avoid overly rich feeding that can cause flopping, and use nearby plants as natural support if needed.

Why Choose Spiderwort?

  • Easy Color: Reliable bloom during the spring to summer transition fills a common gap in perennial borders.
  • Fast Fill: Clumps expand to cover ground and soften bed lines with minimal effort.
  • Adaptable: Performs in a wide range of garden soils and sun levels when moisture is not extreme.
  • Cutback Friendly: Responds well to trimming, which helps keep plantings looking fresh and often boosts rebloom.
  • Pollinator Value: Flowers support visiting pollinators and add movement and life to mixed beds.

If you want a perennial that is easy to grow and generous with color, Spiderwort is a practical choice. Give it consistent moisture, trim it back when it looks tired, and it will settle into a dependable rhythm year after year. Use it in repeating groups for the best effect, and let its relaxed habit blend your planting together.

This sunscreen is well-known, but let me tell you about the manufacturer….
Size: 7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 30
Have been using this sunscreen for most of my life—it’s been around forever. Product consistency has always been 100 percent perfect. But a few weeks ago I purchased the sunscreen I’m reviewing here, and when I went to use it, rather than finding a well-blended white lotion, the lotion had separated into white clumps and a watery liquid. The product was clearly defective even though it was well within its use-by date. I reached out to Coppertone via email and asked for a product replacement. They got back to me that same afternoon with a letter of apology, sent me coupons for a few free bottles of this sunscreen, included some additional discount coupons for Coppertone products, and also sent a prepaid label and pouch to return the defective product since they wanted to make sure that they were able to solve whatever had led to that product being released in that condition. All in all, I was impressed. Coppertone is clearly a firm with a customer-centric culture, and a commitment to product quality. I thought I’d share this since it isn’t everyday that customers gets an inside look into the culture and values of an otherwise very well-known, market leading firm like Coppertone.

Perfect Travel Size TSA approved size
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50
I recently bought the Coppertone SPORT Sunscreen SPF 50 Lotion in travel size for my son’s first trip to Cancun alone, and I have to say, it was a fantastic choice! Whether you're headed to a sunny beach, a day of fishing, or just need reliable protection from the sun, this sunscreen delivers. Here’s my review based on its performance during the trip: Convenience and Travel-Friendly: The travel size is perfect for anyone on the go. It’s small enough to meet TSA guidelines for carry-ons, so you don’t have to worry about checking luggage or dealing with oversized bottles at security. My son was able to easily pack it in his carry-on without any hassle. Additionally, the compact size makes it super convenient to throw into a pocket or backpack for a day of fishing, beach trips, or any outdoor adventure. Sun Protection: The SPF 50 provides excellent protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays, which is especially important for long hours spent in the sun. Cancun’s sun can be intense, and my son was out in the elements for several hours each day (and I wasn't there to remind him to reapply sunscreen), whether he was fishing, swimming, or just relaxing at the beach. He didn’t get burned once!! As a mother of a redheaded 18 year old son I've spent the past 18 years of my life ensuring he wasn't scorched by the sun and Coppertone has yet to let us down! Water Resistance: The water-resistant formula is a huge plus, especially in places like Cancun, where you’ll likely be in and out of the water. My son spent plenty of time swimming and snorkeling, and the sunscreen stayed put. It lasted through sweating, splashing, and even sea water exposure without needing constant reapplication. It’s perfect for active outdoor activities, whether you're swimming, surfing, or just sweating it out in the sun. Mother approved!!

Dries clear, moisturizing, silky, great value
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50
I have fair to light combination skin. I use this on my body, but not my face. It goes on very thick and white, but sinks into the skin lightning fast (within just a few seconds), and it becomes completely invisible. It leaves my skin moisturized and looking and feeling silky. Best body sunscreen I've ever tried. And I love that it is water resistant! I find it too heavy and moisturizing to use on my face, but people with dry skin would probably love it for the face, too. I imagine it would be fantastic for them under makeup. The price per ounce is very reasonable, making it a great value.

Reliable Sun Protection for Active Days!
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50
Coppertone SPORT SPF 50 is my go-to sunscreen for outdoor activities. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and stays on even when I’m sweating or swimming. The broad-spectrum formula protects against both UVA and UVB rays, giving me peace of mind during long hours in the sun. The 3 fl oz size is perfect for carrying in a gym bag, backpack, or beach tote, making it easy to reapply throughout the day. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave a sticky residue, which is great for sports or active adventures. Highly recommend for anyone who wants effective, durable sun protection without sacrificing comfort or mobility!

IT does protect from the sun.
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50
It protects from the sun without a doubt and lasts well. The downsides are that it leaves a greasy and "white" residue that no matter how much you rub it in.....it stays there. I use it when I am working outside and not planning on going anywhere anytime soon.
