The Tradescantia Nanouk is an absolutely gorgeous plant known for its bright green, purple/pink, fuzzy-ish leaves. While different types of Tradescantia are native to parts of North, Central, and South America, the Nanouk is actually a cultivar developed in the Netherlands. The Nanouk is a patented plant, a product of a breeding program intended to âcreate new compact Tradescantia plants with attractive flower coloration and good performance.âThe Nanouk has amazing bright green and purple/pink, slightly fuzzy leaves. Little pinkish-white flowers can also appear. They can be grown both indoors and outdoors, but today Iâll be talking about them as a houseplant.
