Why some shipping routes differ

Live plants are pickup only June 1–September 30. Plugs and potted plants cannot use our shipping path to AZ, CA, HI, ID, NV, OR, UT, or WA; pickup may remain available. Soil-free bare root plants may ship to those states during March 1–May 31 when all remaining rules pass. Montana plug and potted-plant arrivals must be October 1–May 31.

We choose neem oil and lower-impact plant care instead of routinely drenching our greenhouse with lab-manufactured pesticides. We are exploring a screened growing house that may expand future shipping options.

Bare root arrives dormant

Expect new growth in about 6 weeks after planting. Until then it can look lifeless, so you won’t be able to tell within 24 hours of arrival whether it will grow.

About the Product

Web Designer carries some of the largest blue flowers you will find on a spiderwort, set on a lush, tidy clump of thick, wide leaves. Unlike many spiderworts that fade out in summer heat, it stays fresh and keeps blooming well into fall.

It adapts to sun or shade and makes a strong, long-lasting accent for borders, woodland edges and rain gardens. Pair it with Webmaster for a purple-and-blue combination.

What it looks like

Large, triangular, three-petaled flowers about 2 inches wide in clear medium blue, with fuzzy blue filaments and yellow-tipped stamens at the center, opening from bud clusters at the stem tips. Leaves are thick, wide, strap-like and arching, medium green, forming a lush, dense clump. The plant is 18 to 24 inches tall and wide. At peak it looks like a full, leafy clump studded with big blue triangles.

Growing it with lavender

Spiderwort prefers richer, moister soil than lavender, so plant it in a rain garden, near a downspout or in a partly shaded border rather than in the dry lavender bed.

Care

Grow in full sun to shade in average to fertile soil with regular moisture; it tolerates damp spots. Hardy in zones 3-9; if the foliage flops or looks tired in midsummer, cut it back by half to get a fresh flush of leaves and flowers.

When it arrives

Your bare-root plant

Arrives as a clump of fleshy, stringy roots with small shoots or buds at the top. Plant right away with the buds at soil level.

Expect new growth in about 6 weeks after planting. Bare root ships March–May while dormant, with little or no top growth, and it can look lifeless until then. That’s normal. Grassy shoots come up in early to mid spring. Flowers open each morning from late spring into midsummer. Foliage often gets ragged in summer heat; cut it back and it regrows.

You won’t be able to tell within 24 hours of arrival whether a dormant plant will grow.

When to plant

Spring or early fall.

How deep

Set the crown level with the soil surface.

Spacing

18–24 inches.

Soil

Clay, loam or sand · pH 6.0–8.0

Fix-it tip: Adaptable. Add compost to sandy soil to hold moisture.

Sun

Part sun (tolerates full sun with moisture; part shade).

Golden-leaved types scorch in hot afternoon sun.
