The flowers of Prairie Spiderwort are unique because they bloom in the morning and last only a few hours. But don't worry—new flowers open up each day, creating a constant display of beautiful blue blooms during the flowering season.

This plant can spread quickly and form a dense ground cover, making it a good option for filling in spaces in the garden or controlling weeds in areas that are difficult to manage. Its growth habit helps prevent soil erosion in prairie settings.
