'Quadricolor' wandering dude (Tradescantia zebrina 'Quadricolor') is a creeping perennial for containers, ground cover, borders, and shade gardens. 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 grows at a rapid rate, so give it room to spread. It is also drought tolerant and needs little care.
Pairs well with False shamrock, Mondo grass, and Bishop of Llandaff dahlia.
