DESCRIPTION
Tradescantia fluminensis 'Maiden's Blush' is an eye-catching trailing plant known for its delicate, blush-pink and green variegated foliage. The leaves exhibit a soft gradient of pale pink to light green, giving it a soft and romantic appearance. In late spring to early summer, it produces small white, three-petaled flowers that add subtle beauty to the already stunning foliage. Its cascading growth makes it ideal for hanging baskets or as a ground cover in shaded areas.
Native to South America, particularly Brazil and Argentina, ‘Maiden's Blush’ is a variation of the species Tradescantia fluminensis, which thrives in warm, humid environments. Its ability to tolerate low light and bring year-round color through its pink-tinted leaves makes it a popular choice for indoor plant displays or shaded outdoor gardens.
