Re: Tradescantia
I grew Tradescantia Red Cloud once. I didn't care for its traveling
habit. I also didn't think it bloomed as well as the other tradescantias I
grow nor were the flowers as large. I spent a couple of years eradicating
it.
Thanks, Pam, for the recommendation of Heuchera 'Fireworks'. I'll be
ordering it from you. All the other plants I got from you this spring are
doing great!
