Description How to Grow Delivery

In the running for Chelsea Plant of the Year 2023, this star candidate sets a new standard for hardy Tradescantia. With more and larger flowers in each umbel, plus an impressively long flowering period, Tradescantia 'JS® Brainstorm' is sure to garner attention.

Blooming for two months longer than other varieties, Tradescantia 'JS® Brainstorm' goes on pumping out blooms from June to November – delivering an astonishing six months of flower. Dark purple buds open to large magenta-purple flowers with contrasting golden anthers that stand out beautifully against the vibrant petals. The flowers are nestled amongst long, sword-shaped evergreen leaves with harmonising purple tints. With each flower head packed with more flowers, Tradescantia 'JS® Brainstorm' is guaranteed to deliver a big splash of colour for months on end. Height: 50cm (20in). Spread: 40cm (16in).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
