I save this one too under my grow lights!

Foliage changes depending upon the amount of sun light /shade it receives.  It looks like a different cultivar if I plant it in two different spots in the gardens.

Any seeds for this one?  I love those colors.  All the seeds I planted from my "mix" so far looks all the same muted green and maroon.  I hope it's prettier when it grows up.

Seeds are a mixed blessing!

The seed from this particular cultivar doesn't come true from seed so I take cuttings each fall root them, pot them up and place them under my grow lights.

Out in the garden this one changes colors depending on where I plant it and the amount of sunlight it recieves.  I'm looking through my photo database to see if I can find another one which shows a distinct difference in color variation. 

Give your seedlings a chance, they will start showing  color variations a leaf shape diffences when they get a bit larger!

I usually sow the Wizard Mix!  One packet usually lasts me a few years without the seeds degrading!
