Description
Purple Tradescantia is a fast-growing trailing plant with purple foliage and contrasting silvery striping; small pink flowers may appear in warm weather. Use it in hanging baskets, mixed containers, or as a warm-season accent. In Alabama, give bright filtered light or morning sun for good color, with protection from intense afternoon heat. Water when the top inch of a free-draining mix starts to dry, trim leggy vines, and protect from frost. Stem cuttings root readily.
