Purple Heart Tradescantia Pallida Succulent Plant Red Ceramic Pot

Purple Heart (Tradescantia Pallida) - A compact slowly spreading evergreen perennial to 10 inches tall by about 2 feet wide with succulent herbaceous purple stems bearing clasping elliptic leaves that are narrowed at the base and tip that are olive green suffused with purple on the upper surface and bright purple below with long sliver hairs along the leaf margins and stems. Plant in light shade or part sun. Grown in bright light one may see violet-pink flowers in summer but this plant is more for foliage and seems reluctant to bloom much.
