Rescued this struggling beauty from under the electrical meter. It is now set in right by the front door. #midwesternnative

Perking up and even blooming in a shrivelly way #shadelover

Mine is about this big and it's several years old and in shade with a couple hours of sun. I'm going to feed it like crazy this year. Very little is blooming in our rain soaked region

I am trying again with this plant after killing 2 of them in the past. This is now in the very shadiest spot I have, under the electrical meter, less than 2 feet away from the Autopsy Hostas. The previous Kates seemed overcome by a couple hours of direct sunlight a day and I still have reservations putting it here because zero sun stops them blooming. It shriveled in the car on the way home as if proximity to me were poisonous...

I thought spiderwort preferred full sun? 🤔 wonder what's up with this?

I have always been told they like half sun or bright shade. But this variety has very pale leaves and I assumed that it made the plant more sun sensitive @lesliecole49 -- no other spiderwort has given me a moment's trouble...

Good luck
