Jann on Jun 05, 2016Oh, I did not know spider warts were edible! These are among my favorite plants and I love having them sprout anywhere in my yard...and forbid anyone to cut them! They are like little happies from God. They are also wonderful in an arrangement with sunflowers or yellow daisies.Helpful Reply

Stephanie on Jun 06, 2016Yes, Spiderwort. It can spread easily and also comes in white flowers and pink flowers. You can dig these up ANYTIME and move them. After they bloom, cut in half and they will Re-bloom over and over.Helpful Reply
