Details
| Full name | Tradescantia (Continental Group) ‘Feeling Frosty’. |
| Name status | Not established, an invalid unpublished name for a cultivar in the Continental Group. It has not been described precisely enough to determine whether it is a trade name for another existing cultivar. Listed online with photos by Proven Winners (2024). No description has been found, so the name is not established (Brickell et al., 2016, Art. 27.1). |
| Origins | Unknown. |
| Classification | Often labelled as Tradescantia albiflora, which is now considered a botanical synonym for Tradescantia fluminensis (POWO, 2022). It does not fully match that species, but appears to be an unknown hybrid from the subgenus Austrotradescantia. Like other variegated Austrotradescantia cultivars, it is now placed in the Continental Group. |
| Legal protection | None. |
| Availability | Newly introduced in the USA. |
