    Please help identify plant fuzzy leaves & purple/brown s

    I've had this plant for a few years. I think the teeny flowers that come out of it are a light purple or white. I can't remember. It's almost died on me a few times. I've taken cuttings from it and I'm making new babies. :-D I've been trying to find out what she is for a long time now. Can anyone shed some light? Thanks!

    Doesn't look like a Geranium to me. How about Creeping Charlie?

    Or...plectranthus,several different types but they all look great in hanging baskets,and they are easy to propagate.I have done it in a glass of water.
    May take a few weeks but they will root.

    A lady gave me one years ago but called it a creeping geranium. I had a hanging basket full of it. Is there a common name for this ?

    I've always heard it called Creeping Charlie :p I found one at the grocery store a few weeks ago and have it hanging in my office. I love it!

    Creeping Charlie is the common name for some Plectranthus poodledoodlemom, so both could be correct.
