Tradescantia | Cerise Sky My wedding journal It grows well in well-drainingThis plant has strappy evergreen stems with curving leaves where they meet the stem. The flowers are three petalled and are a striking hot pink, cerise colour which emerge through the summer. If you don't want the plant to self seed, you could deadhead after flowering. Grows best in full sun or part shade, and will bloom from early summer through to autumn. Grows to 50 cm tall and wide, and loves a handful of compost around its base in the springtime.
