| Setcreasia... You are correct that it is related to the wandering jew... It is sometimes called "Purple heart". I cannot speak to the hardiness in your zone, but it is very easy to care for. Perhaps if you look in the hortiplex forum, you can find the info... HTH |

| I grew this in Kentucky, Zone 6, as a kid. It came back for several years. I'm not sure it would take a hard Zone 6 winter but it is easy to root cuttings and keep starts indoors over winter. |

| Oh, yes....it will do just dandy in your area. Ummmm, some of us try to get rid of it, after awhile....so keep that in mind. |

| i like to call it "spawn of satan" if you plant it in zone 7, you'd better love it! cause it will never ever ever ever ever leave. |
