Tradescantia Pallida variegata

Good , would you pay £8 for an iris confusa?


your Alstromeria psittacina is now in my wanted list let me know if you see any around.

It nice how we help each other and make ourself spend more money that we want ...
love this forum

 

So ... if easy to propagate can only be rare because people don't like / don't grow it.

Thus people coming to your garden will go Wow (or Yuck) but either way they will not have seen it before.

Its a bit like Art. My kids complain when they see art they don't like, and I reply "Ah, but here we are talking about it, it must be art"

So if you want it then buy it (maybe hold out for a cheaper one for a bit ?)

And then propagate it and sell it for £7.99 each

With something as easy and as common as a tradescantia I'd wait to see one in a sale or buy one in the summer when there may be more about and more competition. Even for a special, rarer variety £8 seems like a lot to pay for one measly cutting. And you'll have to care for it through the winter if you buy now.

Great idea to start selling your own, though!

 

That's what friends are for!!!!
