Please help identify this weird plant

The plant is about 2 feet high. It has a thin stem with long leaves. The leaves are green on the top and purple on the bottom in a subulate shape. They are smooth and glossy and some are up to a whole foot long. It produces purple buds that open up to have small white flowers inside. I have tied the top to a stick because it is top heavy. Please help before I kill it.
