Help me identify this #purple plant. I think it said #purpleheart but I don't know if that's correct. #plantid #help

#WonderingJew possibly. Does it have a little pinkish purple flower at the top?

@hillger no flower yet. And now the bottom leaves are drying up. It's been in full sun. I need to move it to part shade??

@cynbbz mine is in partial shade and blooms constantly. Kept moist soil.

@hillger I just saw a tiny bloom! Right before the sun starting beaming on her. It was about 3:00pm. I went back out now and hour+ later and the tiny bloom had closed. I think because the sun was hitting the stem and lower leaves? I promptly moved it over to the shade.

@cynbbz I will take a picture of my little pot of purple Jew and you can see if they are the same. I believe you will agree. They are beautiful plants. They can go in hanging baskets also. 😎🌞
