Question
I have a trailing houseplant that started out growing in a pot of begonias.  It now is over thirty feet long.  It is purple and the leaves are hairy/fuzzy.  I thought it might be a wandering jew.  The leaves come to a point, are purple, but they are hairy.  It is very easy to propagate and grows fairy quickly.  What is it?

Answer
Hi Paula,

I believe that you may have a purple passion vine or Gynura 'Sarmentosa.'

If this is not what you have, please let me know how yours differs.

Please let me know if any of this is unclear or if you have any additional questions.
