Tradescantia Pallida (Purple Queen) offers blade-shaped leaves in a standout shade of gleaming deep purple that meander around companions in containers, garden beds, and window boxes, adding eye-catching contrast. Small, tri-colored pink blooms come and go quickly throughout the summer, but you’ll want this superb mixer for its distinctive foliage form and color. The fleshy foliage of Purple Queen is a particularly rich deep purple and their trailing habit make them exceptional plants for both hanging baskets, rockeries, and tropical borders.
