Details
Full name | Tradescantia (Andersoniana Group) ‘Cerulea Maxima’. |
Name status | Accepted, the valid name for a unique cultivar. Published by William R. Prince & Co (1853, p. 21). Because it was published before 1959, the Latin name with no description can be accepted (Brickell et al., 2016, Arts. 21.11, 27.1). |
Origins | Unknown. |
Classification | Like other hardy garden hybrids, it is now placed in the Andersoniana Group. These hybrids are sometimes mislabelled as Tradescantia virginiana or the invalid botanical hybrid Tradescantia × andersoniana. |
