We absolutely love the whole shape and fabulous foliage on this purple houseplant! Tradescantia pallida 'Purpurea' (Purple Heart) is a species of spiderwort. It is native to the Gulf Coast region of eastern Mexico. Also known, Tradescantia pallida is also known as the wandering Dude because it proliferates rapidly and will urban wild any space. If you kill this plant, pack up your plants and buy plastic!
The small leaves have a shiny appearance, the underside of a leaf is purple in colour, and new leaves appear a stunning deep purple at first. It looks beautiful in a hanging basket or container hanging over the sides.
If you decide to give this exciting houseplant as a gift, we can include a free, handwritten card - just specify your message at the basket stage of delivery, and we'll do the rest! We won't give the game away with paperwork or prices either, so it'll be a wonderful surprise!
