I've got it in a lot of my planters and It looks like coleus, but is really purple.
Thanks

From your picture I believe it is a Strobilanthes dyerianus 'Persian Shield' It has large leaves flashed in silver blue & lilac with a dark maroon on the underside.

Persian shield. It's sub tropical so makes a great annual. Keep indoors in winter or if in Florida just bring it in if cold snaps threaten. H

If it's not coleus and has pointed leaves, it's probably a begonia.

I think this is a variety of Pilea (Aluminium Plant) - Lots of cultivars.
