Callisia Repens - ‘Pink Panther’

Hailing from the same family as the ‘Tradescantia’ you may notice this miniature plant closely resembles it’s cousin- the Tradescantia Nanouk or ‘Bubblegum Lilac’. With similar shapes and coloring it would be easy to mistake the ‘Pink Panther’ as merely an immature specimen, but the leaves of this plant will never grow over an inch and it’s growth habit will remain compact, yet maintain the ability to trail. This is a great option for someone who doesn’t have a lot of space or for someone who curates their collection based on ‘cuteness’! ** Available in 4.5" Hanging Basket ***
