Tradescantia navicularis is a low-growing, trailing plant prized for its thick, boat-shaped leaves that range in colour from rich green to deep purple, especially when grown in bright light. Its dense, mat-forming habit makes it an excellent choice for hanging baskets, mixed planters, or as an eye-catching groundcover in indoor gardens. With time, it may even produce small pink-purple flowers that contrast beautifully with its foliage.

This plant is both charming and hardy, thriving with minimal attention and rewarding you with fast growth in the right conditions. Perfect for bright spots where it can show off its bold colouring.
