Description

Tradescantia fluminensis tricolor is a tender and attractive plant of outstanding colours. It is widely commercialized as a house plant and for outdoor gardens. It is a long-jointed sprawling ground-cover plant. Its stems and branches recline on the ground and its ascending extremities can grow up to 8 inches (20cm) tall.

The stems is pink in color and upper surfaces of the leaves are a green with white strips. It blooms in small clusters throughout the warm season making small three-petaled flowers of a vivid pink, white, and purple that only stay open in the morning.

They are great for hanging pots or as groundcovers and can add a lush texture and a tropical atmosphere to any garden, be it indoor or outdoor. It is also excellent in containers and ideal for gardening beginners. Thanks to its downward trailing stem it stands out the most when used in rock gardens, border fronts, and wall plantings.
