    Great for shady planters! A sweet pastel colored [spiderwort] plant with silky textured foliage in shades of white, pink, and silvery green. Stays under 6" tall and cascades, and roots easily if you want to pinch cuttings. Loves heat, resents chills, so don't plant outdoors until night time temperatures stay above 60 °F.

    A very tiny, dainty miniature version of [Spiderwort], having small oval leaves in a mixture of rainbow colors--rose, pink and white. Mounding and cascading, growing in a very tight neat habit if in sun. Tiny white flowers. NOTE: this description has been edited to remove reference to a retired plant name
