The website lists 5 different Rhoeo varieties. Some photos being shown of specific varieties show variable appearance. All my life I heard T. pallidas called 'Moses in the Cradle' as a common name. Apparently that name may be more properly applied to Rhoes, but in my locale it referenced purple pallidas. Since T. pallida is a common pass along plant, I doubt that any I've ever grown could have a cultivar name applied to them. I've never bought T. pallida; they've just been given to me. The one I have now came out of a compost pile where a piece got raked up with the leaves and then started growing Smiling . However, the one sold as Rhoeo isn't common in my circles. I'm really not familiar with it. I've never known or seen anyone growing it. Other Tradescantias, but not those.
