Tradescantia sillamontana f. variegata – Variegated Spiderwort – 4.5” Pot
Soft, textured, and beautifully unique, Tradescantia sillamontana f. variegata is a rare variegated form of the beloved Spiderwort. This 4.5” specimen is full and well-rooted, showcasing its signature fuzzy foliage with striking creamy-white and green striping.
Each thick leaf is covered in fine silvery hairs, giving the plant a velvety, almost frosted appearance. The variegation adds bright contrast, with irregular streaks of cream layered over muted green tones. In bright light, the foliage may develop subtle pink or lavender blush, enhancing its visual appeal.
This variety maintains a compact, slightly trailing growth habit, making it ideal for shelves, decorative pots, or as a textured accent in mixed planters. With proper light, it stays dense and vibrant while continuing to branch and fill out.
