Can anyone identify this flower I rescued from a table sale

[BooseysMom]

Can someone please tell me what this beautiful flower is? I rescued it from a table sale and then planted it in the ground but the slugs went straight for it, so moved it into a pot with slug tape around it and it's thriving.
Thanks x

Bamboo Orchid fits

I think it’s Tradescantia virginiana

No, sorry.

but can you possibly link to the tape that worked for yo?. My friend has tried a few, but they're still munching his plants down to the earth! 🙇🏻‍♀️

Tradescanthia Leonora

AI says Virginia Spiderwort aka Spider Lily aka Lady's Tears

Looks like a good fit for it

Tradescantia bracteata, Prairie spiderwort. I love this plant but gave up growing it precisely because the slugs and snails used to eat it to the ground.

Yes tradescantia. Nothing like a bamboo orchid. I've got 5 the stems look exactly like bamboo,flowers are small along the stem.

Yes sorry having looked at an actual picture of bamboo orchid rather than a description, it’s totally off! Whoops!

Thanks everyone! ☺️

Not sure what make the tape is sorry. It's old now and I have ran out of it so thrown the package away.

Thanks for getting back to me. I hope you find a good replacement 🤞🏼

I've got copper tape,egg shells, found the beer traps quite good for removing snails and slugs. Cheap lager.

Oh yes, beer traps are the best. Cheap beer. I think it's Banks's that's the cheapest. 99p in Aldi! But the slugs started ignoring it so I had to give them a more expensive option like Butty Bach! I have to make my DH save some for them which doesn't always work!!

Copper tape keeps slugs & snails off.

Hasn't worked for my friend. The fat bastards just slime right over it!

Beer traps then maybe? Or the good old upturned cabbage leaf. They hide underneath them and in the morning you can go and collect the swines.

Another option is to go out into the garden armed with a torch and a bucket once it has gone dark. You can nab a load of snails that way.
