Purple Heart (Tradescantia pallida)

Purple Heart (Tradescantia pallida)

The Purple Heart (Tradescantia pallida) is a herbaceous, perennial and evergreen succulent of lateral growth. Extremely easy to grow, it has as its main decorative element its mauve-purple leaves, which together with the ephemeral, small but abundant purple-pink flowers that it bears, produces an aesthetically attractive image. The Purple Heart is used for planting in the garden soil, as well as in pots and planters, which can be placed both indoors and outdoors. It covers surfaces relatively quickly, while as a cream branch it is a particularly impressive plant.

► It is offered at a price determined by the particular characteristics of the plant, such as the size of the pot, its height, age and shape. Large shrubs are also available for sale (and planting) upon prior arrangement. In any case, the price or prices listed are indicative.
