Common Name:

Description:
Tradescantia pallida ‘Purpurea’ (syn. Setcreasea purpurea) is a striking evergreen perennial revered for its dramatic purple foliage and swift spreading habit. Originating from eastern Mexico, it features slender, pointed leaves up to 15 cm long, arranged along delicate, segmented stems. These stems are easily broken but take root readily, making propagation a breeze. During warmer months, the plant produces clusters of small, three‑petalled flowers in shades of pink to magenta, often with yellow stamens, providing a lovely contrast to the dark leaves. It thrives in moist yet well‑drained soil, and gains its richest purple tone with bright light or morning sun. It is adaptable to a range of environments: ideal in containers, hanging baskets, as a ground cover, or even as a bedding plant in frost‑free zones. While it tolerates drought and heat, it benefits from regular watering in summer and slightly reduced moisture in winter. In cooler climates, it may die back with frost but will resprout in spring. This cultivar is relatively pest‑resistant and has been awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit.

Amazon is wonderful. Edger is not good. Just let you know. Black and Decker very good edger. I should have known. It’s worth trying Amazon. They returned it back quickly, money back. So, I bought from Amazon Black and Decker LE760FF, from them. It worked great, like B&D has the experience to build Edgers.

Works great, easy assembly and no issues!
Using the weedeater for edging was too hard, so I purchased this. It works great! It was easy to assemble and easy to use. My lines are perfect, but the size, durability, and power of this gem get the job done, and it's lightweight enough that I can easily maneuver it around the yard. I chose a corded one so I don't have to deal with battery life or charging.

Great Edger for the Price
I’ve had no issues at all with this lawn edger. For the price point and the amount of edging I need to do, it works great. It has plenty of power and gets the job done cleanly. Just make sure you have a long enough extension cord for your yard or projects. Overall, no complaints—solid product and an easy 5 stars from me.

It actually does the job pretty well
Style: Lawn Edger/Tool Only
I floundered around for a few minutes, then figured out how to use it, and then made pretty good progress on my overgrown sidewalks. Yes, it uses up batteries but that's because it actually has enough power to do the job, unlike many "homeowner" tools. The handle is long enough so I'm not painfully bent over while using the tool, and it feels solid and stable. One thing I really appreciated is that it doesn't have a typical pointless, awkward "safety" interlock button that you're supposed to keep mashed down with your thumb the whole time - it's a comfortable one-finger trigger. Another good 20v tool from Worx. I'm "in".
