Description
Small, clump-forming deciduous perennial (H 40-60 cm). Leaves at ground level, in bunches, long, linear (20-50 cm), smooth, slightly glossy, mid to dark green. Flowers in loose clusters atop of the flower-stems (40-60 cm), simple, white, with dark violet-blue anthers. Flowering period: June-September. Undemanding, well-growing perennial, grows well in moderately dry to moist soils, eventually near water, in sunny to half-shady sites. Good for cutting. The hybrid group of Tradescantia × andersoniana is a result of a crossing between Tradescantia virginiana, T. subaspera and T. ohiensis.
