spiderwort
When I moved to this house and saw this plant, I thought it was wonderful. I love purple anyway. Well, don't plant it in the ground unless you want it popping up in the lawn and all over everywhere. I have dug and dug and I still have it coming up. The roots grow underground. It is very aggressive.
