Tradescantia (Spiderwort) 'JS Brainstorm'
A striking perennial valued for its vibrant foliage and long blooming season, featuring deep purple leaves that maintain their rich colour throughout the growing season. From early summer to autumn, it produces clusters of three petaled pink flowers that contrast beautifully against the dark foliage, attracting pollinators to the garden. Forming neat clumps of upright stems, it thrives in both sun and partial shade, adapting well to borders, containers or woodland edge plantings. The foliage remains attractive even when not in bloom, providing reliable colour and texture. A superb choice for adding bold contrast to mixed plantings while requiring minimal maintenance.
