    I think it will be easier in a day or two when the flower buds open.

  • I think Tradescampsia also don't know which one will be easier to tell when the colour of the flower appears. Tradescampsia can come in blue,white or a very nice mauve.

     Just had a look outside and it's in flower! A lovely purple one. It will go very well in the purple blue border. I can't remember buying it , it was probably one of my "lets put you in a pot and see what happens"..I love plants for free!.

    Thanks everyone.Happy gardening !
