(Wandering Jew) A classic annual for in the garden or in the home. Tradescantia ‘Wandering Jew Purple’ adds great foliage color to your home. Grown in bright, indirect sun, ‘Wandering Jew Purple’ makes for a great trailer for hanging baskets and containers. The purple, green and white zebra stripe foliage occasionally is adorned with small purple flowers. Tradescantia are easy to grow and require little care, maybe a light trimming now and then to keep them full. We recommend pairing your Tradescantia with your favorite part shade annuals such as impatiens, begonias and ferns. Hardy in zones 9-10, and a great option for a ground cover.

Martha W –
Makes a beautiful spreading (gently) groundcover underneath trees or other plants. Winter will kill it (in most areas of the country) so never out-of-control.
