Tradescantia Spathacea Tricolour
Tradescantia Spathacea Tricolour
With its candy-striped foliage and hot-pink edging, Tradescantia spathacea ‘Tricolour’ is basically a party hat in plant form. Each stiff, sword-like leaf fans out in a neat rosette, showing off layered greens, creams and blush tones that look crisp and graphic on a shelf, desk or windowsill.
This one’s a champion for collectors who love bold colour without the fuss — compact, eye-catching, and always ready to add a little “wow” to your indoor jungle.
