Tradescantia is a genus of 75 species of perennial flowering plants with triangular leaves in purple color or deep green colors. Some of these plants are pendant, others grow more upright. Garden design and interior decorating with these unique and beautiful flowering plants look lush and spectacular. Native to the Americas, from southern Canada to northern Argentina, these plants produce leaves in various colors and bloom in spring creating small white and pink flowers.

Tradescantia plants have triangular three-petaled flowers, which are tender and pretty. These American plants are excellent for interior decorating, for corners and unappealing walls. Tradescantia plants can be combined with other decorative grasses and flowering plants to create stunning centerpieces in deep green colors or rich purple color for interior decorating and garden design.
