Actually Mike, I was wondering about the opposite.
They spent all winter in the cold building, could the lack of light fade them?
Hope yours will regrow a new top? or 2 or 3?
Thanks!

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

It is the lack of light,they revert to more "green"( less purp) with less sun.
How are these doing...?
I have one that returned again this year...may actually be the 6th year it has come
back from side shoots...some of it actually made it through(protected)our mild winter of 2012.

Jim,
Yeah, agree, probably from low light indoors all winter.
At long last, their new growth is now emerging burgundy again.
Maybe just a sign that I should take off ALL the lower leaves.
interesting that yours comes back from side shoots.
After 6 years it must have a substantial root mass.
Camera is acting up...no surprise after 5K photos 😆
