Wandering Jew in the office
By Liz Olson, Editorial Assistant
My co-worker Melanie has a beautiful Wandering Jew plant (Tradescantia pallida
‘Purple Heart’) in her office, which I have admired for some time. She needed to re-pot it recently because it has grown really well and quite quickly. I took a small piece of the plant to propagate hoping that I too would have a large trailing ‘Purple Heart’ soon.
Tradescantia pallida
‘Purple Heart’ is a great indoor plant for cool climates, but it is a good groundcover for outdoor gardens in Zones 8-11 as well. It is drought-tolerant with succulent leaves and stems that trail out of containers and window boxes.
Annie’s Annuals is a good source to see pictures, buy, and learn more about Tradescantia pallida ‘Purple Heart’.
