    I think this is either mugwort or a mum, but either is in the same family. Mugwort is a terrible weed. Don't plant this out in a flowerbed. If it is mugwort you will never be able to contain it.

    Tradescantia is the botanical name for wandering Jew. Thinking it's T. fluminensis but can't tell if there's faint stripes on the leaves or just glare/camera flash.
