    The last photo is when I planted it in the container bottom right. Has tripled in size since June.

    Thanks

    no, that is a Tradescantia spathacea cv. - long known as Rhoeo discolor.

    edited to say: the plant on the left in the third pic. is indeed, the D. 'Tricolor'; the first two images and the low plant centered in the third are T. spathacea.
