These "Red Stars" sure suffer in full sun.

Fortunately the bottom leaves have the most damage, and those will be cut off soon:

Hey barb is the discolouration only on lower leaves? ine do that if i dry them out, or if i forget to water them.

Thanks Tim, the emerging leaf color is so lovely.
Fortunately older leaves can be cut off as they pale.

Jesse, good point.
They really bake up against the south side of building.
Hard to keep them watered so I'm placing patio chairs in front to give them a bit of shade during hottest part of day.
