Purple Queen Spiderwort is a native herbaceous perennial with blade shaped lily like foliage that emerges dark red and matures to deep purple. Insignificant 3-petaled deep pink flowers last for only a day but bloom continuously on the stiff stems above the foliage for several weeks in spring. Grows best with shade and moist well-drained acidic soils. Good drought tolerance.
