Bluejack, sometimes called Smooth Spiderwort, is a native, perennial wildflower that grows one to three feet tall. Its flowers have three petals and six hairy yellow-tipped stamens. The flowers can be blue to purple, sometimes pink or nearly white. They grow in terminal clusters of up to 20 at the top of erect stems with long, slender, leaf-like bracts below each cluster. The leaves are long, narrow, and grass-like. They grow in a clump at the base of the stem and are eight to 16 inches long and less than an inch wide. It grows best in sunny, moist, well drained areas, but is highly adaptable. (July)
