Tradescantia bracteata, commonly known as Prairie Spiderwort, is a clump-forming native perennial prized for its striking blue-violet flowers and its resilience in tough prairie conditions. Each bloom opens for just a day, but the plant produces flowers in succession from late spring into early summer, offering weeks of vibrant color.

Its narrow, arching leaves and compact growth habit make it ideal for native plant gardens, meadow plantings, and dry sunny borders. Drought-tolerant once established, this species thrives in well-drained soils and supports native bees and other pollinators. A great addition for those restoring prairie habitats or simply looking to add a splash of wild beauty to their landscape.
