White spiderwort
Tradescantia virginiana
White spiderwort thrives in partial shade with consistently moist, well-draining soil and is very forgiving of neglect once established. Water regularly during dry spells and cut back foliage after blooming to encourage a fresh flush of growth. It spreads readily and works beautifully as a ground cover in woodland or cottage garden settings.
