Tradescantia blossfeldiana is an evergreen perennia with a slightly darker foliage, fuzzy underleaves and a powerful sun and drought resistance.
The leaves are particularly interesting because they are fuzzy – coloured dark green on the top and a deep burgundy on the bottom.
The flowers are three-petalled, white in the center and a soft lilac on the edges. They can bloom continuously throughout the winter if they are kept indoors.
This variety has a rigid stem and therefore will grow into the form of a clump or a small bush.
Nota bene: This variety is NOT frost hardy so make sure to bring them inside when the temperatures start to dip.
The Tales:
The family is often called ‘Inchplant’ as the leaves are supposed to be an inch (2.54cm) apart on a healthy plant. It depends on the amount of sunshine she gets, but generally I have found this to be true.
The plant was named after John Tradescant Senior, a gardener employed by the English King Charles I, by his son John Junior, a botanist and explorer.

North and South America
