Ohio Spiderwort

Ohio Spiderwort


Tradescantia ohiensis
Spiderwort  Family - Commelinaceae

The Spiderwort blooms from February through May.  The name spider may come from the fact that there is a sap that strings out like a web from a spider or maybe because the leaves hang down like spider legs.  This Texas wildflower was named after the gardener of King Charles I.
