What kind of tradescantia have I got?  
I thought Purple Heart spiderwort, but it’s too pale for that.

Looks like a boat lilly. Tradescantia spathacea

It needs 8 hours of full sunlight to bring out the darker colors. My Purple Heart is shown. 💟

Oh you think so? I wondered.  
My Zebrina gets bright purple with lots of direct sunlight but Google wasn’t revealing lighter coloured Purple Hearts so I wasn’t sure this could be one.
