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’.

It also has "neat" little flowers. A neighbor of mine had one flowering and allowed me to take some pics of her plant in bloom for my garden blog.

Good evening. The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself.
