I have worked with A.D.R. Bulbs for almost 5 years now, and my company has sourced bulbs with them for longer than that. Communication is great - from ordering, to deliveries, to follow-ups on final product. I love the quality of the product as well as the service. We plant nearly 100,000 bulbs and A.D.R. keeps the whole process easy for us!

Blooming from late spring into summer, its blossoms appear in succession, ensuring a long flowering period.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Tradescantia andersoniana 'Concord Grape' (Ships in Spring)
Planting: Plant in early spring between February and May. Soak bare roots in water for 3–6 hours before planting. Use well-drained, medium-moist soil and plant with the crown at soil level. Firm the soil around the roots to eliminate air pockets.
Spacing: Space 12 to 18 inches apart to allow for mature spread and airflow.
Light: Prefers full sun to light shade. In hot climates, afternoon shade helps prevent leaf scorch.
Soil: Moist, fertile, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0–7.5. Avoid heavy, soggy conditions.
Watering: Water thoroughly after planting. Then wait until shoots emerge before watering again. Once growing, water moderately and allow the soil to partially dry between waterings.
Temperature & Humidity: Hardy in USDA zones 4–9. Best planted when soil temperatures are between 35–55°F (2–12°C).
Fertilization: Begin feeding once the root system is established. Use a balanced fertilizer throughout the growing season.
Pruning: Cut back old stems after flowering to encourage fresh growth and prevent self-seeding.
Propagation: Divide clumps in early spring or late fall if overcrowded.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
