common name is creeping jew, I think

Tradescantia fluminensis 'Tricolor' or similar ?

I’ve always called it wandering Jew. Great shade plant, easy to propagate.

Bloombox club uses the name "wandering dude" (June 2019)

. I think "wandering jewel" works better.

Yes the name I’m familiar with is disturbing.

The common name "wandering jew" is not considered offensive. I have asked every rabbi I have known. My first gardening mentor was both a medical doctor and a rabbi.

Thanks all

Or just call it a Tradescantia and avoid the whole issue. Better still learn and use the full name so its always clear which plant is under discussion.

Thanks all. Sorry I wasn't around to thank you back in Dec.

BTW, I believe this is T. albiflora.

A new cultivar that is very popular is 'Nanouk'. Might be that.
