VVV - it was in a hay manger type wall basket and it does not get much sun either as it is north facing.

Love the pic BALD!

Yes, tradescantia.

never seen a purple leaved one, mine is green.

Yes, I've not seen a purple one before, I recognised the leaf shape

have posted on your other 'what is this plant?' thread, hillbilly. It is a tradescantia 'purple queen'.

Thanks everyone!
