Purple Heart

Tradescantia pallida

Electric purple foliage with small pink blooms. Fast groundcover and spiller that laughs at heat — tops may freeze, roots usually push back.

Landscape use

Groundcover, container spillers, hot borders, and color contrast carpets.

Full sun deepens color. Low to moderate water. Cut back freeze-burned stems. Easy to root and share. Can spread — use where you want coverage.
