Details
| Full name | Tradescantia (Andersoniana Group) ‘Vermont Ruby’. |
| Name status | Established but questionable, it may refer to a unique cultivar or may be a synonym for Tradescantia (Andersoniana Group) ‘Ruby’. Published with a description by Mitchell Nurseries (1946, p. 55). The name most likely refers to ‘Ruby’, but there is not enough information to definitively link it to any plant known today. The name is established and treated as lost or an unknown synonym. |
| 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. |
| Legal protection | None. |
| Availability | Probably lost from cultivation, it has not been documented since its first publication (Mitchell Nurseries, 1946, p. 55). |
