It looks like a type of Wandering Jew, but it's not purple. So cute.

Not all wandering jew plants are purple. It sure looks like that's what it is, and a very healthy one too.

Agree with the rest of the replies. This year my local garden centers are planting lots of houseplants in containers with annuals. They also have lots of baskets of trailing house plants for sale.

It's sure a pretty and healthy looking plant. Do you have it outside in the summer?
