Similar to day lilies, each spectacular little blossom of ’Virginia Spiderwort’ opens in the morning, then wilts and turns to mush by nightfall.
Catching them at just the right moment can be tricky, but if you miss it, don’t worry. Another batch of flowers will arrive bright and early the very next day!
