Re: Tradescantia navicularia
I'll have a look tomorrow. To me it looks better grown hard and tight in a little mound. When it decides to flower it just looks 'leggy' but colourful.

This is Tradescantia navicularis in a 2" pot just getting ready to flower.

Re: Tradescantia navicularia
That's the plant but do you have any spare cuttings elsewhere ?
Cheers

Re: Tradescantia navicularia
Not quite what you are looking for, Tony, but I have plenty of Cyanotis somaliensis if that is of interest (it used to be classified as a tradescantia, with hairy leaves and blue flowers).

Re: Tradescantia navicularia
Hi Ralph,
This is a pretty plant....I guess its a bit tender coming from Somalia ?
I might take you up on your offer, although my first choice would be the one I was asking for.
As space is quite limited let me see if any offers come in for my original quest first ?
Cheers

Re: Tradescantia navicularia Solved
Tony send me a PM with details of your address and I'll pop some of it in the post.
It's been in the same pot for 30+ years so I guess it might want a repot (Probably will kill it )

Hi Tony,
No, its as tough as old boots. No problem in the unheated part of my greenhouse.
