MN Mom on Apr 04, 2016It's hard to discern from the photo. For a true identification you could take a photo of it alone or bring the actual plant to your local nursery/garden shop.Helpful Reply

Janet Pizaro on Apr 04, 2016The term was used incorrect for sure, however that is not vinca. Vinca is a trailing vine in which is mainly an accent in a container planting and has totally different leaves.Helpful Reply

Nancy Baker on Apr 05, 2016I have grown the wandering jew all my life. It has small leaves and is wilder growing than this. This is one rosette, it grows to at least 12 inches across, puts out legs like a spider plant. The legs grow individually out to about 18 inches and a baby forms out there. The leaves feel like the wandering jew in that they are very tender and watery. So yes, they are in that family, but they have a different name. I will take a photo later when it gets growing in my flower garden. I'll check on gardenweb.net also.Helpful Reply
