Rhoeo ‘Tricolor’ (Tradescantia spathaea)

Attractive tricolored foliage has white and green striping with pink highlights on the leaves and purple undersides. Place Rhoeo ‘Tricolor’ outside in a summer container or grow it as an annual planted directly in the ground in combination with begonias, impatiens and other plants that prefer partial sun. Keep out of hot, mid-day sun, but moderate amounts of light are needed to maintain the colorful foliage. Small white flowers surrounded by purple bracts appear intermittently throughout the spring, summer and fall. Rhoeo ‘Tricolor’ is also an easy-care houseplant for a bright, indirect light area of your home.
