Tradescantia 'Brainstorm'

Tradescantia 'Brainstorm', is a neat introduction, coupling a shorter stature and intense blooms.   This variety outperforms other purple types by being more landscape friendly and having a longer bloom window.  These intense blooms are a great addition to any mid-border planting.  Can also be grown in containers.
