Purple Plush Tradescantia is a fast-growing, low-maintenance perennial prized for its velvety, deep purple foliage and trailing habit, making it an excellent choice for hanging baskets, groundcover, and container displays. It thrives in bright, indirect light to partial sun—more sun intensifies the purple coloration—prefers well-draining soil, and tolerates short dry periods once established; overwatering can cause root rot. The plant produces small, three-petaled pink to violet flowers intermittently, and spreads readily by stem cuttings, which root easily in soil or water. Hardy in warm climates (USDA zones roughly 8–11) but commonly grown as an annual or houseplant in cooler areas, Purple Plush benefits from occasional pinching to encourage bushiness and can be propagated to create dense, colorful drifts or to replace leggy growth.
If plants are being SHIPPED, they are only shipped on Mondays and Tuesdays (days vary depending on holiday weeks) and will be shipped as fast as possible. They will be coming in a packed/ insulated box. The roots will be wrapped in a plastic bag with a little soil from where it was planted. It will be at minimum double-bagged if it’s cold. There will be a few 'hot hands' packs in the box. Every precaution will be made to ensure safe arrival. I try to keep up on shipping and make sure the package keeps moving; it’s best to unbox and plant ASAP to ensure health. But the plant is bound to have a few struggles due to climate change, altitude changes, light changes... Be patient, give proper light, soil, and some healthy water, and she will be beautiful.
