What we ❤️ about this plant:
💜 Rich burgundy-purple foliage with shimmering silver-green stripes
🌿 Bold pointed leaves create a dense, colourful trailing display
✨ Deep purple undersides add even more colour as the stems cascade
☀️ Best in bright, indirect light to maintain its strongest colour and markings
📈 Fast-growing and naturally trailing – perfect for shelves and hanging displays
Bring rich colour and striking pattern to your houseplant collection with Tradescantia zebrina ‘Burgundy’, a particularly colourful form of the popular Zebrina. Its pointed leaves combine deep burgundy and purple tones with contrasting silvery-green stripes, producing an almost metallic appearance in good light.
The foliage is particularly impressive when viewed from different angles, with shimmering upper surfaces complemented by rich purple undersides. Brighter indirect light helps intensify the burgundy colouring and keeps the characteristic striping crisp and vibrant.
Naturally vigorous and fast-growing, Tradescantia ‘Burgundy’ develops long trailing stems that look fantastic cascading from shelves, plant stands and hanging planters. Regular trimming encourages branching and helps create an even fuller, bushier plant.
Easy to grow and quick to respond to good conditions, this is an excellent choice if you’re looking for something more colourful than a traditional green houseplant without requiring complicated care.
How to Care for Tradescantia ‘Burgundy’
• Position in bright, indirect light to maintain its strongest burgundy-purple colouring and silver markings.
• Some gentle morning or evening sunshine can enhance the colour, but protect the foliage from prolonged harsh midday sun.
• Water when the upper layer of compost begins to dry, allowing excess water to drain freely.
• Use a good-quality, free-draining houseplant compost and avoid keeping the roots constantly wet.
• Pinch or trim longer stems periodically to encourage branching and maintain a dense, bushy appearance.
• Feed approximately once a month during spring and summer with a diluted balanced houseplant fertiliser.
