Tradescantia bracteata and ohiensis

The hardy North American Tradescantias are one of the few groups of plants that will grow almost anywhere in the garden (without becoming a nuisance) and which has almost no major pests or diseases. Mostly of course people grow the cultivars, but as you might be aware by now, I tend to prefer the wild species.

Tradescantia bracteata

This is a remarkably choice low compact species with substantial violet flowers on short stems.

Quite variable

Tradescantia ohiensis

A much more graceful, slender species than we are used to, with pale green grassy foliage and soft lavender flowers over a long period in summer.
