# Hi I found this plant in my yard about a week ago and repotted it…

_Posted by Sunshine on 2026-04-07_

Hi I found this plant in my yard about a week ago and repotted it because it was pretty. it’s doing well but I’m not sure exactly what it is, a google search said Virginia Spiderwort but again I don’t know I just google searched the image. I’m in midlands sc. is the google search correct? Thanks!

It does look like spiderwort. It might be good to google it again after it blooms.

It’s a really pretty dark purple it’s been thriving since I replanted it but still hasn’t bloomed

It might need more sunlight. That’s what mine liked and I read that will cause it to have more flowers.

Spiderwort is correct. I have them planted in my flower bed. I live in Oregon zone B. Hope this helps.
