Tradescantia

Tradescantia is a low perennial plant from the Commeline family, which has more than 30 species. In nature Tradescantia is found in Central and South America. This magical plant got its name from its discoverer, John Tradescant, who was the court gardener of Charles I and first proposed a botanical description of the plant.

The perennial Tradescantia has creeping and straight stems, on which smooth leafy oval or pointed-shaped plates are alternately arranged. The colour of the plant will appeal to lovers of pastel colours in the interior: some varieties of Tradescantia have purple or pink leaves, but there are also typical green representatives.

Throughout the year, Tradescantia blooms irregularly, creating dense buds on sturdy stems. At first, cups of dark green colour appear; corollas of three segments are formed on them. Inflorescences are purple and white in colour and can bloom for more than three months. A bunch of yellow stamens is located in the middle of the cup, surrounded by free petals.
