OMG! This is an incredibly gorgeous, richly colored plant! I can’t believe how full and happy the plant I received is – especially after a hot transport through the mail in August! In Colorado! I am very happy with this purchase and will absolutely buy from Steve’s Leaves again.

The photo above does not do it justice. This plant is SO vibrant. The gray stripes on the top of the leaves are sparkling and glittery silver. And the under part of the leaves are a deep, rich, vibrant purple. And the size is very generous. I was expecting a much smaller plant, but it’s very full and luscious. Whether this plant is or isn’t in your wish list, you should definitely get it. I have some photos and videos of it on my IG; @green.thumb.gal . Thank you Steve’s Leaves!!

Tradescantia zebrina ‘Purple Tinge’ has an astonishingly fast growth rate! I ordered just one small pot of this particular cultivar a few months ago & potted it up into a hanging basket. The basket can hardly be seen now because its hidden beneath all the new growth. The dense foilage is beautifully streaked with purple & metallic silver 😍😍
