Tradescantia navicularis

It is a succulent plant from the tropical areas, which is highly appreciated all over the world for its deep ornamental qualities, combined with the extremely easy cultivation. It is a fast-growing herbaceous plant, consisting of creeping or drooping stems, covered with small triangular leaves, similar to a boat, also easily recognizable, due to the double color they take: bright purple on the lower surface and green-reddish on the upper one. In summer, the overall decorative appearance is amplified by small lilac or magenta flowers, which complement the already striking shades of the plant.
