Tradescantia Sweet Kate
Golden-lime grassy groundcover with bright purple blooms, generous and fast to flower. Great for giving a tropical look to a cold-climate garden - plant alongside buddleia and carex Evergold for complementary tones.
In warmer climates, we suggest planting this with gold-leafed cuphea and tibouchina for a harmonious trio .
