I'm liking the look of this T. zebrina seedling. In good light the leaves develop purple speckles and a pronounced central stripe, over a bright green background.

I've had about fifty seedlings, and it's really tricky narrowing them down and deciding whether any are worth keeping. Especially when there are so many zebrina cultivars already! Is this different enough from 'Discolor' and 'Burgundy' to be interesting?!

Closer view of the leaves. The background colour is bright green, with speckles and a central band of purple, as well as two silver stripes on each leaf.
View of the leaves on another stem, with the same pattern of purple speckles.

Huh, I did not even know that you could grow those from seed... I've always gotten mine through cuttings

@DelilahTech @TradescantiaHub @plants @houseplants @Tattooed_Mummy Me too. Super easy to propagate. I've even accidentally done it. 😄

Hah, no kidding

I think I moved once and they managed to follow me, somehow

@TradescantiaHub @plants @houseplants It is nice! I have no comment on existing cultivars, though..
