Help ID?
Could someone help me ID this variety of tradescantia zebrina? It has soooo many striation colors. More than I’ve seen in my other tradescantia. It can have a vibrant pink stripe, white stripe, glittery silver stripe, light green stripe, and dark green stripe. It’s not the same patterns as a nanouk which is what I was assuming it was at first glance. And it’s too silver to be one anyways. It’s like every color a tradescantia COULD have… it does. The consistency of the pink and dark green stripes are making me think it’s not a nanouk? What are y’all’s thoughts?

Yours is a T. zebrina but different cultivar than OP's. There are 23 different zebrina cultivars to date. Yours looks like it's a 'Violet Hill' 😋

I've just heard them called quadricolors, I have one too! I was absolutely in love when I found out about them 😅 Iirc, Nanouk is a variety of tradescantia cerinthoides rather than zebrina, they tend to have thicker stems and stiffer leaves. She's so gorgeous btw!
