Virginia spiderwort (Tradescantia virginiana)

Virginia spiderwort is often studied in biology classes due to the fine hairs on its stamen, which are ideal for microscopic examination. These hairs provide a clear view of cellular structures and processes. Additionally, the plant's rapid growth and ease of care make it a convenient subject for educational experiments. Its visually appealing violet-blue flowers and intricate leaves also add to its value as an ornamental plant.
