{"product_id":"tradescantia-lucky-charm","title":"Tradescantia 'Lucky Charm'","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLucky Charm™ Spiderwort has masses of beautiful clusters of blue flowers with violet overtones at the ends of the stems from mid spring to mid summer, which are most effective when planted in groupings. Its attractive grassy leaves emerge green in spring, turning yellow in colour with showy gold variegation and tinges of chartreuse throughout the season.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"NetPS-PlantBox\"\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"NetPS-PlantPGPara1\"\u003eLucky Charm™ Spiderwort will grow to be about 8 inches tall at maturity extending to 11 inches tall with the flowers, with a spread of 15 inches. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant, individual plants should be spaced approximately 12 inches apart. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 10 years. As an herbaceous perennial, this plant will usually die back to the crown each winter, and will regrow from the base each spring. Be careful not to disturb the crown in late winter when it may not be readily seen! As this plant tends to go dormant in summer, it is best interplanted with late-season bloomers to hide the dying foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"NetPS-PlantPGPara2\"\u003eThis plant performs well in both full sun and full shade. It requires an evenly moist well-drained soil for optimal growth. This plant should not require much in the way of fertilizing once established, although it may appreciate a shot of general-purpose fertilizer from time to time early in the growing season. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. Consider covering it with a thick layer of mulch in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid. It can be propagated by division; however, as a cultivated variety, be aware that it may be subject to certain restrictions or prohibitions on propagation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"NetPS-PlantPGPara3\"\u003eLucky Charm™ Spiderwort is a fine choice for the garden, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor pots and containers. It is often used as a 'filler' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination, providing a mass of flowers and foliage against which the larger thriller plants stand out. Note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Andersen's","offers":[{"title":"#1 \/ Perennial House","offer_id":51480836178210,"sku":"71794","price":15.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/5294\/8770\/files\/L315-13.jpg?v=1774976090","url":"https:\/\/greenthumbgardencentre.com\/products\/tradescantia-lucky-charm","provider":"Green Thumb Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
