Suitable for USDA Zones 3-10, this variety grows well in full sun and prefers moist, well-drained soil. Once established, it can tolerate both heat and drought, making it a solid choice for xeriscaping and gardens with low water requirements.
- SEASONS, BLOOMS & COLORS: Our Spider Plants bloom from summer through fall, producing large, airy, spidery violet flowers. The blooms stand out in low light with their glow, creating striking visual effects in the flower garden. With long bloom seasons, the plants provide consistent color throughout the warmer months, adding visual interest during the growing seasons.

- PLANTING TIPS: For healthy growth, sow 2-3 of our garden seeds per hole, which ensures good germination and fuller plants. Space each plant 18 inches apart to allow enough room for growth and prevent overcrowding. Proper spacing supports better air circulation, reducing the risk of disease and promoting healthy development. This setup helps the plant reach its full potential for blooms.
