Tradescantia Sweet Kate
Golden-lime fast-growing grassy groundcover with bright purple blooms, generous and fast to flower.
Great iin warm humid climates, and fantastic for giving a lush tropical look to a cold weather garden.
Plant alongside purple buddleia and carex Evergold for complementary tones in cooler climates; and in warmer climates, we suggest pairing with gold-leafed cuphea and tibouchina for a harmonious purple-golden trio. Gorgeous!
