Add a touch of rare sky-blue color to your garden with Blue Tweedia, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its unique star-shaped blue flowers, soft silvery-green foliage, and exceptional pollinator appeal. Tweedia caerulea (syn. Oxypetalum caeruleum), commonly known as Blue Tweedia or Blue Milkweed Vine, is a tender perennial admired for its long bloom season and delicate blossoms that are highly sought after for cottage gardens and floral arrangements. It is an excellent choice for pollinator gardens, container gardens, cottage gardens, trellises, borders, and cut flower gardens. With proper care, it produces abundant blooms from late spring through fall.
Blue Tweedia thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining soil. Once established, it is moderately drought tolerant and easy to grow. Its clusters of true sky-blue, five-pointed flowers attract butterflies, bees, hummingbirds, and other beneficial pollinators throughout the growing season. The fuzzy gray-green foliage adds soft texture, while the long-lasting blooms are prized for both fresh and dried floral arrangements.
You will receive one healthy, greenhouse-grown Blue Tweedia starter live plant, carefully packaged for safe arrival.
