Notes
'Flame Dance' wandering dude (Tradescantia zebrina 'Flame Dance') is a perennial for borders, containers, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It creeps and grows at a rapid rate, so it fills space fast. It is also drought tolerant, which keeps care easy.
Pairs well with False shamrock, Mondo grass, and Bishop of Llandaff dahlia.
