Description
Tradescantia pallida 'Purple Heart' is a stunning tropical perennial with vibrant purple foliage and a trailing growth habit. It produces small pink flowers in summer and is often grown for its dramatic color and texture.
Ideal for containers, hanging baskets, or groundcover in warmer climates, this plant spreads quickly and provides bold visual interest in both gardens and indoor settings. In colder zones, it can be overwintered indoors as a houseplant.
- Full Sun to Partial Shade
- Mature Height: 6 to 12 Inches
- Mature Spread: 18 to 24 Inches
- Zone: 8 - 11 (Annual in cooler zones)
Plant Care Instructions and Attributes
- Thrives in well-drained soil and full sun for best purple coloration.
- Heat and drought-tolerant once established.
- Can be pruned regularly to encourage bushier growth.
- Overwinters well indoors with bright, indirect light.
Note: Plant ships potted with secure packaging. Foliage may fade slightly in transit but will perk up with proper light and care. In cold climates, treat as an annual or overwinter indoors.
We cannot ship some plants or sizes to California due to agricultural restrictions.
