Spring Wildflowers - Ohio Spiderwort

Also known as Blue Jacket, this flower blooms from March to August. There are several different varieties of Spiderwort that are native to Texas, but this is the only one I have seen on our property. Another common one in Texas is called the Western Spiderwort which is more of a hot pink color. Spiderwort prefers moist meadows, prairies, and thickets and is particularly attractive to native bees! It also prefers some shade, which is where I find most of them.
