Tradescantia pallida has pale mauve-green leaves and stems edged with a fine purple line that contrasts beautifully with the bright pink flowers that appear in summer.
It is very resistant to dry conditions and cold (as long as there is daily thawing)
It is distinguished by vivid purple, elongated and slightly pointed leaves—generally a glaucous green, turning more vividly purple in full sunlight and times of drought
The Tale:
T. pallida has been judged exceptionally effective at improving indoor air quality by filtering out volatile organic compounds, a class of common pollutants and respiratory irritants, an effect known as phytoremediation.
And since they are not particularly frost tolerant, keeping them inside may be best!
Pallida means ‘pale’ in Latin so it’s right there in the name
Other Names:
Setcreasea pallida, purple secretia, purple-heart, or purple queen
