Also known as Tradescantia cerinthoides, this variety has a darker foliage, fuzzy underleaves and a powerful sun and drought resistance.
Tradescantia blossfeldiana is an evergreen perennial – the stem is rigid and the leaves grow to form a clump.
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.
