Not a completely new variety, but brought a new lease of life. This Tradescantia has fairly succulent, large, broad, purple leaves with pink flowers emerging in summer. Ideal Conditions: Prefers full sun, or partial shade with free-draining soil or compost. Possible Situation: Most frequently seen as a house plant, but we see no reason that it shouldn't be used in patio containers, or even in the border as often seen in the tropics.
