Bright Star (Tradescantia spathacea ‘Bright Star’)

Bright Star is a colorful, compact plant with strap-like leaves streaked in shades of cream, green, pink, and purple.

Each leaf is a little different, giving the plant a bright, almost painted appearance.

It’s an easy-growing plant that brings year-round color to shelves, windowsills, and mixed planters.
