‘Purple Rain’

Details

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Name statusNot established, an invalid unpublished name used to sell multiple other cultivars.

Listed online with photos by Leafy House (2020) and Nursery 2 U (2022). No hardcopy publication has been found, so the name is not established (Brickell et al., 2016, Art. 27.1).

The two listings show different cultivars, Tradescantia spathacea ‘Sitara’ and Tradescantia zebrina ‘Flame Dance’, so the name cannot be linked to a single specific plant.
