Tradescantia mundula ‘leakenensis rainbow’!

This is a really pretty plant with many different names. I’ve grown this as ‘leakenensis rainbow’ for years and while it seems to have been registered recently as ‘lisa’ based on a technicality I’m not inclined to adopt that name.


The Commelinaceae family is an interesting and popular group of plants. Many have brightly colored leaves and make a full hanging plant. They make great houseplants as long as you can provide a brightly lit place for them. The majority of them are fast growing so don't be afraid to trim your plant back periodically. These plants are famously easy to propagate. Any piece of stem will root easily in water or damp soil.

You will receive a plant just like the one pictured. They are growing in 2.5 INCH POTS.
