Rhoeo 'Moses in the Cradle', also known as Tradescantia spathacea, is a striking, low-maintenance plant prized for its bold foliage. Its sword-shaped leaves are green on top and rich purple underneath, creating a vibrant contrast in gardens or pots. The plant gets its common name from the small, white flowers nestled in boat-shaped bracts at the base of the leaves, resembling a cradle. Ideal as a ground cover or feature plant, Rhoeo thrives in full sun to part shade and is well-suited to both indoor and outdoor settings. Drought-tolerant and easy to grow, it adds year-round colour and texture to any space.
