The Gardener's Notepad
It's a little hard to accurately describe the leaf color with one word, since they change so much from Spring to Fall. First off in Spring the veins are quite prominent, resembling the 'Ghost' types, then becoming more of a red orange. Does not appreciate direct sunlight all day. Best with about six hours of sun, or planted near the edge of high shade.
