I actually have one of these that’s going wild but I can’t for the life of me remember what it is. It’s related to a purple queen or a boat Lilly I believe so should be a transcantia family. They trail and make lots of pups

I’m excited to watch it grow! Thanks :)

It’s a Purple Heart and will be more purple with more light.

#### Ava replied on 2024-06-10

Yes, I have one of these and that's what it looks like to me.

### Cait2k3 commented on 2024-06-10

Some kind of Wandering Jew, maybe?

#### Smiling Fox replied on 2024-06-10

Yeah that’s the other name for the Purple Heart

#### Josie replied on 2024-06-11

That actually the slang name of a silver inch plant/ silver trandscantia not for the Purple Heart.

#### Smiling Fox replied on 2024-06-11

Yes of course, same family still

I like to use Wandering Dude instead🤩
