Purple Heart (Tradescantia Pallida) or Wandering Jew/ Wandering Dude - A compact slowly spreading evergreen perennial to 10 inches tall by about 2 feet wide with succulent herbaceous purple stems bearing clasping elliptic leaves that are narrowed at the base and tip that are olive green suffused with purple on the upper surface and bright purple below with long sliver hairs along the leaf margins and stems. The interesting new leaves emerge in seemingly opposite pairs that are folded upwards to form fuzzy cup-like wings.

In bright light one may see violet-pink flowers in summer but this plant is more for foliage and seems reluctant to bloom much. Plant in light shade or part sun and water regularly to only occasionally - as with many in the genus these plants are surprisingly drought resistant because of the water stored in the succulent stems.

Provide porous soil with adequate drainage, pots with drainage hole are recommended. Bright, filtered light and ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Never let your succulents sit in water. Do NOT water on the leaves. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour off any excess water after a few minutes. The hotter it is outside, the faster your soil will dry out, so you’ll need to water more often if you live in a hot area. Water with caution in winter, as the plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet for extended periods; protect from frost to prevent scarring.

Can this be used as ground cover

Purple Heart plants thrive in rich, moist, well-draining soil. Their stems are fragile and break easily, but they make a hardy, heat-tolerant ground cover. You can read this blog to learn more about the types of succulents that can be used as ground cover. Blog: https://succulentsbox.com/blogs/blog/how-to-use-succulents-as-ground-cover-plants

What is the difference between the 2" and 4" of this trandescantia? Is the 4" just taller than the 2"? Thanks!

Hi Addie,
This might varies but the 4” plant is often bigger , taller or have more plants in one pot than 2”.
