ID this plant?


Can any of you keen gardeners name the small plant with the variegated leaves? It's puzzling us on OFF.

I think it's an Ice Plant "Red Apple" looks a bit like this, although the photo on this website is very poor.

No, I copied this from OFF. You may be right about tradescantia: This is t. sillamomtana.

Re: ID this plant?


I'm fairly sure it's not a Tradescantia now - doesn't have trios of leaves/petals.
