Tradescantia crassifolia F&M 258

Collected in the Sierra de Pachuca, Mexico, this is an exceptional species, for its foliage alone. Shining, succulent green leaves are translucent as far as the lower leaf surface when young, producing a hologram-like effect. Pink flowers over a fairly long summer period. A tuberous species with potential hardiness, dying back completely in winter, though easy in a pot overwintered under glass.
