‘Giant’

Details

Correct nameUnsecified.
Name statusNot established, an unpublished invalid name used to sell multiple other cultivars.

Listed online by Bustani Plant Farms (2022), tomplantman (2022), and Korbas (2022a, 2022b). No hardcopy publication has been found, so the name is not established (Brickell et al., 2016, Art. 27.1).

All four listings refer to different cultivars – Tradescantia pallida ‘Kartuz Giant’, Tradescantia zebrina ‘Silver Smudge’, Tradescantia zebrina ‘Little Hill’, and a Tradescantia Albiflora Variegata Group plant. Because of this ambiguity, the name cannot be linked with a single specific cultivar.
