Hi Jim! My spiderwort was provided courtesy of the birds. ;-) I like having it in the shade, as it doesn't get out of control!! This is a lovely cultivar!
What a beautiful flower! Does it grow well in zone 7? I live in the mountains in Idyllwild, CA. I love Hosta too, I haven't planted mine out in the garden because I get too much sun, I need to find a shady spot for it! Thanks for writing me at Blotanical.com I'm glad to meet other gardeners! Feel free to visit my garden anytime :)
I never touched a plant till Pat and I moved to Cleveland from Chicago. Our house came with trees and trees and more trees. it also came with overgrown landscaping that hadn't been tended to for 15 years. Pat's always been the gardener. I love hanging out with Pat and I know how to use a shovel. Along the way I discovered a love of gardening. But first, We had to take 12 trees down and 40 dead bushes out. Hosta, ligularia, and sedum are my favorite plants.
Our yard is clay. Clay, clay and more clay. Clay all the way to the center of the earth. The people at the conservation district told us that " we're at the wrong end of the glacier". I nodded the nod of the intimidated and have repeated it ever since. We are true belivers in sweet peet and work in 15 yards every spring. Our back yard faces north and is a good 6 feet lower than the house. Most of the back yard is moist year round. Except for the north east corner, the yard is under shade or partial shade. The front yard is mainly sunny. We are in zone 5b.

How luminous! Definitely worth a click to enlarge, Jim. Love to see the two flies sharing a blossom's worth of supper. :)
Jim, I love tradescantia and can't seem to resist photographing them. This one has such lovely violet colors. -Jean
Lovely spiderworts! I'm always glad to see people growing these in their gardens. Mine are always surrounded by bees.
