Yep .... I have the Tradescantia bermudensis plant here growing in my Garden as well as in containers in my screened pool enclosure. I have given some away in trades. There's a solid green form with reddish underside (Tradescantia spathacea) that a lot of folks like to grow here in Florida as a ground cover, but I don't like the green one, too boring to me. I just love the T. bermundensis with the vivid color Here's the Plant Files info on it: http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/109176/

Here's a photo of one of mine in a pot on the pool deck, I've never even put it in an interesting or pretty container (soon, if I find time) ... it's just in one of those old nursery pots. I dug it up out of the garden because it was being taken over by some vines! I still have another one I need to dig up and transplant elsewhere, or put it in containers too. When they multiply, I just remove some of the pups and pot them up to trade!
