Tradescantia ozarkana
The Ozark spiderwort is a clump-forming woodland perennial with broad, often glaucous leaves and pale blue to pink or white flowers in spring. It grows on shaded, rocky wooded slopes and wants cold winters and summer shade.
Where it grows wild
Rich, rocky deciduous woods, wooded bluffs and ravine slopes, often over limestone or dolomite, under a closed or partly open canopy. Habitat detail is generalised from the genus and the measured sites.
Measured elevations run from about 156 to 1,046 m, median 408 m; the upper figure is likely from a single high Ouachita or Boston Mountains site.
