This page is a list of the cultivars I’ve created and introduced myself. All of them will be available in the shop.
Tradescantia brevifolia × hirta ‘Raspberry Ruffle’
This is the first documented case of a T. brevifolia × hirta cross, and the first cultivar I created myself. It was bred in 2023, named and introduced in summer 2024.
The plant has long narrow leaves, intermediate between the parents ‘Scout’ and ‘Swifttale’. It produces lots of large pink flowers with slightly ruffled petals.

Tradescantia zebrina ‘Sepia Grain’
My first T. zebrina introduction. It was bred in 2023 from ‘Purpusii’ and an unknown pollen parent, and introduced in summer 2024.
The leaves have a light green base colour with narrow silver bands. In bright light they develop purple speckles concentrated in a stripe down the centre of the leaf and scattered over the whole surface.

Tradescantia pallida ‘Froglet’
My first T. pallida introduction. It was bred in 2023 from ‘Ocampo White’ and an unknown pollen parent, and introduced in summer 2024.
The leaves are small and stay bright green in all but the most intense sun stress. The flowers are soft pink with extremely round, almost circular petals.

Tradescantia pallida ‘Raindrop’
Another T. pallida bred in 2023 from ‘Purpurea’ and an unknown pollen parent, and introduced in summer 2024.
It has extremely pale purple flowers, with teardrop-shaped petals with narrow pointed tips. The leaves are narrow and range from olive green to purple depending on light levels.
