InfoLeaves blush red with sun exposure.
Blushing red fades to green in mid to late summer.
Deep burgundy-red appears as soon as it emerges in spring and the color extends across the entire leaf.
The dark red is more saturated with cool night temperatures and some direct sun.
It was a breakthrough plant, not only because of its reliable blushing, but also because it blooms several weeks earlier than 'First Blush'.
