Their flowers are substantial but close up when it gets too hot by the afternoon.
As they self seed, I have a million little seedlings which I give away and ones of various ages so that I have a varying amount of heights for my spiderworts.
The oldest ones are ginormous! About 4 feet tall, I swear. They are in my front yard bed though that gets a good amount of fertilizer for the irises and bulbs, so that might be a factor in their height.
I still have to give them a taste, as I learned some time ago that they are edible, and okra-like in taste as well as excellent indicators for a nuclear apocalypse. This plant is also a common find at master gardener trades/flings, due to that easy self seeding thing. Like all my lemon balm and feverfew and lambs ears, this self sows into my lawn too.
I promise to give an update when I give this stuff, also known as "cow slobber" a taste (next month, I swear!)
Just wanted to bring up reliable plant-i-tude for those who care!
