The Ohio Spiderwort, or Spiderwort plant, is a native perennial wildflower. This plant is characterized by its grass-like shape with long, squiggly leaves. Sometimes, the flowers have three petals, blooming in the morning and closing in the afternoon like a prayer plant.
Fun fact: this plant has similar uses to aloe vera. The leaves are slightly slimy and can relieve pain when bitten by insects.
