Tradescantia andersoniana 'Mac's Double' - 2026

Tradescantia ‘Mac’s Double’ is a charming perennial that brings a touch of elegance to the garden with its unique double‑petalled flowers and tidy growth habit.

This cultivar thrives in moist, fertile, well‑drained soil and prefers a position in full sun to partial shade. It is relatively easy to care for, requiring only occasional deadheading to encourage further blooming. ‘Mac’s Double’ is well suited for borders, containers, or as a specimen plant in mixed perennial beds. Its compact size and striking flowers make it a delightful addition to any garden, offering both aesthetic appeal and ecological benefits.
