OP cookinmom Member Joined: Apr 2006 Saint George, Georgia	My plant is fuzzy like that Tradescantia sillamontana (White Velvet), but mine would not fit in a basket. At present, it's about 3 feet tall and each leaf is about 9 or 10 inches long. My mother-in-law only knew that it is some kind of tropical.
