Market price from $3.10 to $8.35

Tradescantia pallida is a captivating perennial plant, affectionately known as Purple Heart, that brings an extraordinary pop of colour to any garden. Featured prominently within the Commelinaceae family, the Purple Heart's fame stems not only from its bold, lance-shaped leaves in a vivacious shade of purple but also its delicate, alluring flowers.

An enchanting spread of 2 to 3 feet and a height of up to 1 foot adds to its aesthetics, making the Purple Heart an irresistible choice for any gardener.
