Oh! Thanks toni! Yes I have several tradescantias: a deep blue, a white and a ?mulberry. Pretty plants. I have to provide support for them , else they flop over. I haven't figured out yet how to use them to best effect, what to team them with, etc. Suggestions appreciated.
I have.... Tradescantia occidentalis (Prairie Spiderwort) These do not get as large, mine are in pots and maybe reach 1 ft to 1 1/2 ft tall.
Here are photos. They really haven't come into full bloom yet I can upload photos once they are truly blooming.
I have TONS of those. A good percentage of our "lawn" is spiderwort. They're finished blooming for the season here except in a few more shady, moist spots.
