Description en: Genus of about 30 species of low-growing, evergreen perennials, related to Tradescantia; but more succulent and with greater tolerance of dry conditions. They occur in upland forest and rocky areas in Africa and Asia. The trailing stems, to 30cm (12in) long, are almost hidden by hairy, densely 2-ranked, lance-shaped to broadly ovate or oblong leaves. One-sided cymes of short-lived, shallowly cup-shaped, 3-petalled, purple, violet, or blue flowers are borne in summer. In frost-prone areas, grow in a temperate greenhouse or conservatory, in hanging baskets, or as houseplants. In warmer climates, grow in a herbaceous bed or border.
