Tradescantia pallida 'purpurea' is a handsome and robust plant that can be grown in a pot outdoors in Southern California year round.
A spiderwort commonly known as purple heart, it is related to zebrina and spider lily.
These cuttings were given to me by a very good friend and I plan to root them in water.
UPDATE: 2 of my 3 cuttings taken on August 18 have tiny roots already on August 31 (13 days)
