@Wangobango3 whatever it is I have some. parts of it are 10 feet long.whatever you woud call that
Though it took some effort, or lack thereof, I have managed to kill at least one pot of them. I do, however, have a potted on that I've managed to keep going for at least 5 years.
@StevenWilbur I have one cutting that has been in a bucket of water occasionally filled for 3 years now
It grows here too & it looks a lot like the wandering jew vine except it doesn't vine. It sure is nice & tough & shade tolerant.
Tradescantia.

@OwlInASack It is a large genus but I think this is Tradescantia zebrina, though not certain, sometimes known as Inch Plant.
named after John Tradescant, the seventeenth century botanist.

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
