Wandering Jew (Tradescantia zebrina)

Wandering Jew (Tradescantia zebrina)

The Wandering Jew (Tradescantia zebrina) is a herbaceous, perennial and evergreen succulent of lateral growth. Hard and durable, within the natural limits of its cultivation, it is an apt choice for the decoration of indoor and outdoor areas, thanks to its prostrate or spreading habit, as well as its almost continuous pink-purple flowering. Of course, the dominant ornamental element of Wandering Jew is none other than its variegated leaves, which are initially purple-purple, and then green, while on either side of the leaf axis they appear silver-white stripes. These stripes are the reason for the creation of the visual "effect" of the zebra, which is also the feature of the plant. Tradescantia zebrina is used in half-shade or shady places in the garden and in light-exposed indoor environments.

► 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.
