Tradescantia are herbaceous perennials that can grow up to 3060 centimeters (0.981.97 feet) in height. They come in both climbing and trailing varieties. The leaves range in length from 345 cm to 345 cm, are long, thin, and lanceolate (1.217.7 in). The flowers have three petals and six yellow anthers and might be white, pink, purple, or blue (or rarely, four petals and eight anthers). The sap is transparent and mucilaginous.
Many species only have one-day flowers that open in the morning and close in the evening.
