    I bought this plant at a Home-Depot and I have no clue as to what it is.I initially thought that it was a Rhoeo, but now I am not so sure. It grows in a rossette, has long, thin, variegated leaves that bend easily. The leaves have no serrated edges, are purple on the bottom, and green on the top, with purple stripes running along the length of the leaf, which is about 1" by 8".

    Possibly Rhoeo spathacea?

    Rhoeo spathacea is a synonym for Tradescantia spathacea variegata. Harry
