Tradescantia - Spider Lily

Hi,

We purchased a pack of mixed colours of the above last spring and grew them in good soil with semi shade, but rather disappointed as they all turned out to be the same rather dull purple and did not look that great.

They are sprouting quiet strongly this year so wonder if they are worth keeping or if they really are not that good a plant, partic with them all being the same dull colour ?

Pic below not ours, which is probably several years growth.

 

The supposed plants are very pretty ... the reality boring.
This is much the same as I had with Trailing Verbena Mixed and I got all Purple a couple of years ago. They didn't germinate so I threw the soil in the rockery which is now inundated with the purple stuff!!!
Very disappointing but I only paid 99p!

 

Well its up to you ricky if you don't like them get rid , its likely the supplier didn't know what colour they were going to be. I potted one on yesterday called sweet Katie its got yellow foliage with blue flowers.
