Tradescantia blossfeldiana

Tradescantia blossfeldiana is a popular houseplant owing to its colourful foliage and trailing nature. It hosts foliage that is variegated pink , cream-white, and green. The leaves are held off creeping stems which will trail down the side of a pot or the like. This herbaceous perennial typically grows to 10 cm tall and about 50 cm wide, performing best when positioned in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained, sheltered spot that is free from frost. Any wind or brushing against can easily knock the stems off, though it will regrow again quickly if that occurs. It will also tolerate higher levels of shade. This Tradescantia is perfect for growing indoors or for planting around protected outdoor living areas.
