You can't kill it. When it gets ratty looking in the 90 degree temps here in Wilmington, N.C. I mow it down along with the peppermint that has taken over. It will come back out as soon as the temps cool down and then you will have another growth through the winter. The roots will spread and the seeds will drop and you'll get hundreds of plants. I don't have the heart to destroy them so I just let them grown in my garden and mow them down in the lawn. Just dig it up with a shovel and put it where you want it. You can’t kill it.

I am new to spiderwort and love it. It is sprouting in many places in my garden where I need to move it. Can I do it now (early June) after it has bloomed and is dying down? Also, does it grow from seed? Is it a self-seeding plant or is there a bulb there that I need to think about? Thank you. ET When can I transplant spiderwort? I am new to spiderwort and love it.
