My camera phone didn't realize capture the vivid purple hues:



Seems to do well in shade.

That's Tradescantia, one of the purple ones: http://garden.org/plants/searc...

Looks like this to me.

I knew you guys would know with a quickness, thanks again!
It seems like it might be perfect for a shady section in the back yard I'm planning.

[edit: Wow, it sounds like it can get really out of control. I might have to re-think this.]

No worries it not hardy in our area. You can take cuttings and keep as a house plant if you like.

I had that growing in one of my flower beds in SoCal. It sort of took over, but it was pretty easy to control.

woofie's right....Even here in North Florida, I've not really had a major problem with it. Easy to control, and worth it in my opinion! A beautiful shade of purple with a really cute pink flower.

Yep, it's a pretty little rascal, and I'm still kicking myself for not bring a bit along when I moved.

woofie...Ya want some? I think I can share!
