Tradescantia pallida 'Ocampo White' is a new form of the commonly grown Tradescantia pallida discovered by the Yucca Do folks in the wild near Ocampo in Southern Tamaulipas, Mexico. The hairy green foliage with a burgundy border makes up the small, 6" tall x 1' wide clumps, topped with small white flowers during most of the summer months. T. 'Ocampo White' is completely hardy in Zone 7b, but further north would find its best use as a combination container or hanging basket (except in states like Massachusetts, where hanging has been outlawed as cruel and unusual punishment).
