White Velvet, White Gossamer, Cobweb Spiderwort. Fuzzy leaved spiderwort, appearing as if its leaves were covered with spiderwebs. Silver green leaves frosted with white fuzzy cobwebbing whorled around upright stems. Low growing and spreading, to 10-12" x 18", with striking magenta flowers in summer through autumn. Showy in containers or the garden. Unusual little plant for the rock garden, a pot or the top of a wall.
Sun to light shade. This is a plant that enjoys neglect and mixes well with succulents. Far hardier than appears, this overwinters at light freeze (zone 7B).
