Tradescantia 'Sweet Kate' (Spiderwort)
Sweet Kate
Share:

Also known as Blue & Gold, this spiderwort has bold chartreuse yellow foliage and dark blue-purple flowers for much of the summer. Prefers part to full shade and can tolerate some radical summer pruning if it gets a bit tattered. Very pretty combined with yellow hostas in the shade garden.
