Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A dear gardening friend, Fran Levin, shared this sweet little Tradescania with us. Its true name remains a mystery after an exhausted web search, but we have a few to share this spring, so we decided to list it. Tightly congested 1/2-3/4" gray green leaves are covered with wooly hairs. 3-4" tall, slowly spreading to 6-8", or more.
