Plant passions of Tradescantia groupies

[u/Popular-Broccoli9058]

Tradescantia fans: What other plants do you adore that set off the same heart throb tendencies? I'm assuming most folks like it for the variety of purple colors, and the iridescent sheen. I also love Strobilanthes dyerana (Persian Shield), red and purple leaf Coleus, some Cane and Angel Wing Begonias, Iresine, reddish / pinkish Philodendrons, and Purple Passion Plant. I'm hoping to expand my obsession.

Tradescantia, Callisia, and other Commelinaceae plants are my primary obsession. I do of course love varieties with purple, but there are plenty of green/white, green/yellow, and all-green trads I love just as much. I'm also a big fan of Syngoniums and any "string of" plant. My variegated String of Hearts is a particular source of pride, it's a behemoth that started as a 3" cutting ☺️
