Tradescantia 'Outdoor plants'

#spiderwort is popping up everywhere this year #purple #vibrant

Looks royal 💜💛💚

So pretty 💜💛💜

I do love this colour @novicegardenlover and @pelly probably another one not considered tropical and yet again it originally came from mums. It’s nice to look around and see a bit of mum in my garden which is odd because she had a classic cottage type garden

#tradescantia #purple

This has gone mad this year, so I've been dividing and giving it away #tradescantia

Do you know of a good plant identifying site?

Lovely pic

I’ve put my clump you gave me in the Wheelbarrow as it’s turning out to be mostly purples in there with a hint of pink/white Bestie @vec Thankyou 💜😍😘

@Racheltheredhead most probably Garden Tags 😂 someone here will always know if you tag with #plantid

Mines loving this year too. I'm not ready to divide it yet, tho. Matter of fact, I've got two more to put in

Beautiful I've never heard of this plant 😊😊💜💜

@jadojado29 You even commented that you put yours in the wheelbarrow 😂😂😂

Morning all , weird how the colour of the flower has dyed the water droplet #tradescantia

Great photo! 💜

Wow! That’s beautiful! 💜 #bestofaugust

😲 wow! That's cool!

Wow 👏

Wow Bestie @vec What an Amazing pic 👌 it’s absolutely Stunning 👌👌😍💜😘

Stunning photo Julie 💜💜

WOWZERS!! That's amazing looking Julie!💘😍

You have some stunning flowers in your garden

What a shot..💜💦

@flowerseed this one can be a complete thug if you let it. I'm often chopping it back to keep it manageable. It started as a cutting rooted in water from mums. I've divided it, hacked it and generally treated it meanly 😂

#beefriendly #tradescantia 💜

What a busy 🐝 vec

Morning all. Had to remove quite alot of this #tradescantia yesterday. It takes over the garden if allowed 😉

Morning Julie, it’s very pretty though 💜💜

Morning 🙋🏼‍♀️

Very pretty and quite jungly foliage but it has a habit of falling forward if it's not penned in and squashing everything in front of it @pelly

Morning @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom Off to work shortly. It's going to be another hot one 🌞

Morning Bestie @vec it is pretty but I can see you wouldn’t want it taking over your garden 💜😘

Morning Julie, fab colour despite it taking over somewhat 💜😊

#tradescantia adding to the jungly look 💜💚

Wish we had a zoom feature on here. We could play "count the hoverflies". #spiderwort is absolutely covered in them this morning 💜

Morning all. Off to start the new job shortly, I'm going to be sweltering, it's so warm already. #wildlifewednesday #bee #tradescantia

Morning Julie .......all the very best in your new job. Enjoy :)

Morning Julie hope you have a great start in your new job 😘👍

How exciting. Best of luck 👍

Morning Julie, good luck 😀😀😀

Thank you ladies @flof1952 @daisy-jane @susieg and @pelly All I can say is 'wow' to the garden. Beautiful but lots of weeding, pruning and maintaining to do 💜 Going to love doing this contract ☺

Evening Julie hope all went well on your first day there 😊

I loved it but 4 hours in one go was a bit too much in today's heat @keely 😘

Sounds like you deserve a well earned rest Julie 😘

I bet it was hot up here and you are hotter in your neck of the woods 😓😓

Morning all. #tradescantia in flower for the first time this year. I dug up a massive clump of it yesterday and moved it into the back of the newer border. It was too big and jungly looking for where it was 😂 #firstflower

Morning Julie 💜💜💜

Afternoon Tina 🖑

Afternoon Julie, that's lovely 💜💜💜

Evening Julie @vec Gorgeous colour 💜 lucky we had the rain this afternoon would have helped it to settle in to.its new home. I need to move a couple of Plants tomorrow now as been out today not been I'm garden at all 😘

Yes that rain was very welcome Suzie and just after I'd come back from robs football presentation. I've caught the sun alot today, it's been gorgeous. My pasty looking legs are catching up with the rest of me 😂😂😂 @jadojado29

These have gone mad this year. Might have to move them to the back of the border. Lots of leaves and buds #tradescantia

Morning all #tradescantia and #blanketflower in the background #latebloomer

Morning Julie , pretty pic! Have a great day 😊

Good morning Julie have a good day 😀

Morning Julie 😀Simple but lovely

How sweet Julie @vec 😊

Morning and thank you @juliesgarden @jadojado29 @nessas @daisy-jane @rachelbrooks @christineb @latebloomer @yodamama and @pelly @susanhumphrey333 Hopefully you're all having a good day. I'm wrapped up and dosed up and hopefully will get another garden looking better after school work ☺

Oh dear Julie @vec you don't sound much better, you and Rachel @rachelbrooks seem to be the ones suffering at the moment look on the bright side at least you have got it before Christmas whoops there I go again that word just keeps cropping up 😂 make sure you keep wrapped up well doing your gardening and dose yourself up again tonight. Sending you hugs and hope you feel better tomorrow 😘

Morning all, was wondering why one of the #tradescantia had flopped. It's the sheer weight of the buds. I divided a small pot of cuttings from mum earlier in the year and every one of them is thriving 💜

👍🏼👍🏼morning Julie ☀️ 💜💛 gorgeous colour flowers 👌🏼

Morning Julie very pretty 💜

Morning Julie pretty 💜💜💜

Morning Julie. Beautiful 😀

Good morning Julie 🙋🏻

Morning Julie 💜💜💜

Is that spiderwort ? @Vec 😀

Wow! That's a lot of buds!

Yes @plants spiderwort or tradescantia. Either name will do 😁

#tradescantia #spiderwort

#macro #tradescantia #buds Amazing how much of the beauty we miss out until we zoom right in ☺

Looks a bit cheeky!

😲

😁😁😁 @usgardentags and @stephent

Oh err a bit hairy 😂😂😂😂

I spotted something that looked ruder earlier..will take a photo of that tomorrow @lovemygarden65 😁😁😁

Thank you Deborah @latebloomer ☺

#wildlifewednesday #tradescantia

Beauty 💜💜💜

Stunning colour 😀🌿💜🐝

Morning everyone, a cooler start here today. I divided the small pots of #tradescantia cuttings from mums a couple of months ago and planted them in the border. This is the first one to flower 💜 #purple #rainbow

Morning Julie @vec lovely outside at the moment. Have a wonderful weekend think the weather is going to be ok that's saying something for a bank holiday 😀

Beautiful! Not seen that one before! 👌

Morning Julie 💜 gorgeous colour @vec

Good morning Julie 🙋🏻

Morning Julie! What a beautiful flower! Thankfully it's a bit cooler here this morning too!

Morning @jadojado29 @SylviaDavies @rachelbrooks @yodamama and @bigemrg Hope you've got a nice relaxing weekend planned. I've got a little project to do in the garden but apart from that maybe a bike ride or two if it's cool enough and general mooching about in the garden ☺

Just been our on the bike with the dogs, @vec , glorious. Stopped and started as I was having a feast on the blackberries in the hedge yummy!

Sounds perfect @SylviaDavies plus you have amazing scenery to look at ☺

#purple #tradescantia

Great colour, mine are about to flower. Going to lift after flowering as its getting to big , will divide and replant then pot up what's left to give away as I've no space left 😂@vec

Mine were a giveaway from mum. She gave me 2 others which didn't survive but this was my favourite one anyway 😉

@lovemygarden65

Fantastic colour 😀

An excellent addition to our rainbow challenge 🌈- today is #blueflowers !

First flower on #tradescantia. A cutting from mums garden that I thought I'd lost

Help me identify this plant I can't remember what this one is 😐

Looks a bit like crocosmia?

Maybe tradescantia?

#plantid

I did have some tradescantia cuttings from mum but thought I'd lost them last year. Thanks @tash74

Tradescantia spathacea (Syn. Rhoeo spathacea; R. discolor)
