    I recently bought this plant not realizing that it had no information about it. The place I bought it will not return my calls.
    The plant is small, about 6 inches high. There are multiple stems that are purple. The leaves are green and covered in white/gray hair. The undersides of the leaves are slightly purplish. The leaves are alternating on the stems.
    I will post a picture later if it will help.
    Thanks so much!
