7 Tradescantias You Might Not Know Exist
Hello Plant People!
Easter’s over, and it’s back to reality. I’ve had a busy week at work, so I was so happy when the weekend finally arrived! I hope you’re having a relaxing weekend too!
Today, I wanted to show you some Tradescantias you don’t see very often.
I believe there are a few reasons why these Tradescantias aren’t as common: some grow more slowly, which makes them rarer; others might not have the vibrant colors seen in the more popular varieties; and a few are just a bit more demanding in their care needs.
But despite their oddities, I’m really love my uncommon Tradescantias. So, let’s take a look:
Zanonia Mexican Flag
2. Brevifolia Scout
3. Pallida Kartuz Giant
4. Spathacea Cream
5. Hirta Swifttale
6. Zebrina Tikal
7. Spathacea HANSOTI02
Which one do you like the most?
I got some of them not too long ago as small cuttings, so they’re still quite small. But, with summer approaching, I’m hoping they’ll begin to take off soon.
While not a Tradescantia, there’s a newly announced Callisia cultivar this week, Callisia repens ‘Green Cricket.’
It was discovered by Kaja Mierzejewska in Poland, it’s a cute little variety with streaks of varying shades of green! She has an amazing collection of both Tradescantias and other Commelinaceae plants. Her Instagram is @commelinaceaepl if you want to check out her collection!
Until next week! Happy Planting!
