Tradescantia "Red Hill" EA

I thought tradescantia were purple, I must be thinking of the purple and green striped plant I had years ago. I picked this one up today, and it's not purple, and it's all fuzzy. I checked on Exotic Angel's site, and they show a picture of Red Hill, but it's purple and green. Hmmm.
Then I checked on GW, and discovered that nobody here knows what it is , either.
This version of Red Hill seems to have narrow long leaves, and in spite of the shine, it's fuzzy. Should I put it in more light? Less light? I'm taking a page from PurpleinOpp and want to make a hanging basket for my back porch. Coleus, this tradescantia, and maybe a little pilea.
It's been a long winter, I'm ready to get started with some plantings.!
