How to Plant SPIDERWORT Seeds
Sow seed in cell packs or flats,
press into soil, barely cover.
Kept at 70-80° F.,
germination
averages 30-40
days. Transplant into the garden
12-18 inches apart.
Comments: Full sun to full shade. More compact, heavy blooming in sun, flowers brighter in
shade, growth more lax. Tolerates wide range of soils and average water. Prefers ample
water, tolerates wet soils. Cut back hard after bloom; keeps plants neat, encourages repeat
bloom in autumn. Manage spread by dividing plants every 2-4 years, and by removing lax
stems that can root in soil. Rarely bothered by pests or disease. Attracts butterflies.
