Tradescantia 'Sweet Kate' Plants

Tradescantia 'Sweet Kate', also known as Blue and Gold Spiderwort, is a hardy herbaceous perennial with unique contrasting colors.  This stellar performer has a beautiful upright stature with a compact habit.  The leaves are a bright yellow and give way to abundant blue flowers.  The flowers only last for a day but are replaced by yet another one the following day.  These self-cleaning flowering heads are borne over a long time in late spring until early fall.  A great partial shade perennial!
