Rhoeo

Tradescantia spathacea cultivars

Very easy to grow. Grows in shade, in a minimal amount of soil. Somewhat succulent in nature so tolerates drying out between waterings.

Very easy to propagate and create massed displays at very low cost. Fast tropical effects can be achieved by block planting as a groundcover or in containers.

Dwarf forms, including variegated striped varieties are particularly popular in landscaping today.

Unfortunately, this plant grows so easily it has weed potential and has become invasive in Florida, USA. So take care and never dump waste of this plant (or any plants!) in the bush.
