Meet Web Designer Spiderwort, the Spiderwort that rewrites the rules on color, endurance, and garden presence. This compact perennial forms a dense, lush clump of thick, wide foliage—a tidy base that perfectly frames its exceptionally large blue blooms. These blossoms are among the biggest found on any Tradescantia, creating a bold pop of color that instantly elevates borders, pathways, and shaded corners.
Where many Spiderworts surrender to summer fatigue, Web Designer Spiderwort holds its form and freshness long into fall. Heat, humidity, and fluctuating conditions don't faze it; instead, it just keeps sending up wave after wave of soft blue flowers. This extended bloom window makes it a reliable, long-season performer and a standout companion plant—especially alongside its Proven Winners® counterpart, 'Webmaster'. Native lineage and modern breeding come together in this beauty, giving gardeners the best of both worlds: durability and elegance. Thriving in sun or shade, adaptable to moist soils, and beloved by pollinators, Web Designer Spiderwort shines in rain gardens, cottage borders, and naturalistic plantings. Whether you're after vibrant color, low-maintenance charm, or a sturdy perennial that simply won't quit, this Spiderwort is ready to take your garden design up a level.
