leaves of the purple heart plant

Known for their bright purple foliage and small pink flowers, Tradescantia pallida, a perennial native to the Gulf Coast region of Eastern Mexico is now widely cultivated in warm climates as an ornamental plant for rock gardens, borders, or as hanging plants. They don't survive the cold months and must be taken indoors for that period. We have these growing outdoors all year in the desert regions in California.
