Ohio Spiderwort is a native herbaceous perennial with arching blue green grass-like foliage. The small 3-petaled rich blue flowers each last for only a day but bloom continuously on the stiff stems above the foliage for several weeks in spring. Blooms best with full sun and moist, well-drained acidic soils.
