Red Gem Inch Plant: Tradescantia zebrina – 8 inch hanging basket

Tradescantia is a genus of trailing perennials commonly known as Inch Plants, Spiderworts, or ‘Wandering Plants’ prized for their fast growth and multi-colored foliage. They feature striking patterns of foliage in shades of purple, silver, and green, occasionally producing small, delicate flowers.

The Tradescantia zebrina, often called the Silver Inch Plant, is the most recognizable variety in its genus and a staple in both gardens and indoor collections. It is easily identified by its cascading stems and striking leaves, which feature bold stripes of shimmering silver and deep purple. The ‘Red Gem’ has more crimson hues on its foliage with the more bright light it receives.
