Hi everyone! I need some help! I got a Boat Lily that I traded for, and I have another unknown tradescantia that looks like the Boat Lily, but has a much darker purple under the leaf.

I know the baby bunny bellies look similar to boat lilies, so I don’t want to get their varieties wrong. I couldn’t find the difference between them though, could some one help me so I can identify my unknown?

Yes! The leaves are fairly thick with that beautiful purple underneath. They are also a bit fuzzy.

Then this is what I bought as a Boat Lily. Lighter purple underneath the leaves, and not fuzzy
