Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This relative of Tradescantia is a keeper, either as a houseplant or a shady container subject. 2-3" leaves perforate the stems and are displayed with various degrees of white variegation...some leaves are almost all cream, while others have streaks of pink, lavender and silver green. Long thick pendulous branches dramatically cascade. Easy to grow!
