Description

The listing, Purple Queen Wandering Jew cuttings has ended.

this is for up to 5 cuttings of my mother plants
Even the stems of this plant are purple, with velvety purple leaves and small, light lavender flowers.
These plants add striking color to the landscape and look great against any flower or foliage color.
The floppy, delicate stems break very easily when you handle this plant, but no worries - new sprouts will soon take their place. Broken stems root very easily in water or potting soil or by just popping them back in the ground.
Plant specs
Purple queen grows to about 1 to 1-1/2 feet tall.
It will grow in full sun to part shade, keeping its best color in more sun.
These groundcover plants are cold tolerant. They need the warmth of Zone 10 to stay pretty year round, but can be grown in Zone 9B - though they may die back in winter they'll come back just fine when the weather warms up in spring.
The growth rate is moderate...though once the plants are well established, edging may become a regular chore especially in areas where stems spill out over a walk.
Plant care
Add top soil or organic peat moss to the hole when you plant, if the area is very dry.
Trimming is usually needed along the edge of the bed.
Water on a regular basis, but don't keep the area overly wet. Once purple queen is well established it's considered drought-tolerant, but if it gets no irrigation during dry weather the plant can look sparse and unkempt.
Fertilize twice a year - in spring and late summer - with a quality controlled-release fertilizer.
This groundcover will grow in a container, especially pretty cascading from a hanging basket.
