Tradescantia zebrina 'Red'

This trailing specimen is so easy to grow, it's a perfect starter plant for new indoor gardeners. The silvery-blue, almost juicy looking foliage trails beautifully with little effort, and is even forgiving of an occasional missed watering. The red undersides of the wrap-around leaves add visual interest and color to an already beautiful plant. Too little sunlight may lessen the color and striping of the leaves, and if the stems get too leggy, simply pinch them back.
