Description
The Rhoeo Plant, also known as Moses-in-the-Cradle or Tradescantia spathacea, is a bold and beautiful foliage plant with striking green leaves on top and deep purple undersides. Grown in a nursery bag, this hardy plant is perfect for adding a splash of colour and texture to borders, balcony planters, or mixed foliage displays.
Rhoeo is a fast-growing, low-maintenance plant that thrives in bright indirect sunlight or partial shade. Its sword-shaped leaves grow in a neat rosette, forming a compact and colourful clump that looks fantastic when mass-planted or used as an edge plant. It also adapts well indoors with enough light and can be repotted into decorative containers for tabletops or entryways.
Thanks to its drought-tolerant nature and minimal care needs, Rhoeo is a favourite among urban gardeners looking for something vibrant yet fuss-free.
