Tinantia pringlei variegated

Tinantia pringlei 'Variegata'

Tinantia pringlei 'Variegata', also known as the Variegated Mexican Wandering Jew, is a captivating tropical perennial prized for its striking foliage. This lesser-known relative of the Tradescantia family boasts elongated, lance-shaped leaves adorned with stunning variegation. The foliage displays a vibrant mix of green, cream, and pink hues, creating a lively, eye-catching display that adds a tropical flair to any setting.

Growing as a spreading, somewhat trailing plant, Tinantia pringlei 'Variegata' typically reaches heights of 20-30 cm. In favourable conditions, it produces small, three-petaled flowers in shades of pink or purple, though the foliage remains the primary attraction. The plant's semi-succulent stems contribute to its resilience and ease of propagation. Totally hardy, although it will often die right down to the ground in the winter.

Thriving in bright, indirect light and preferring consistently moist, well-draining soil, this Tinantia is ideal for hanging baskets, mixed containers, or as groundcover in frost-free areas. Its colourful, variegated foliage makes it an excellent choice for adding texture and interest to shaded garden spots or indoor spaces.
