Tradescantia Pallida
Purple Heart, Purple Queen or Wandering Jew
This plant is native to the New World, found from Southern Canada to Northern Argentina. It is considered invasive in parts of the southern United States and Australia. When I work with this plant it definitely irritates my skin leaving it itchy with red splotches. It goes away by the next day. This plant serves as a great houseplant as it is known to do an exceptional job improving indoor air quality filtering out pollutants that cause respiratory problems.
