Hmmmmmmm - mine is on the north side of my house so it doesn't get sun until the afternoon, but it does get some late pm western sun in the summer. Not so much other seasons when the sun is lower. Maybe it will get the red when it's not getting so much sun. It is healthy and not burning at all, so I'm stumped. I will await your report my friend! Smiling

Kelly, some of my AZ P's are not red either. Some are starting to redden.
So keep watching! Thumbs up

Morning surprises: Blue Dawn MG that is taking over my yard. Blooming not so much but I'm guessing once the heat dies down, I'll have tons of blooms. Barb gave it to me a year ago. It survived in a pot....but flourished in the ground. (She told me so!!! Whistling )

I always chicken out on planting that MG vine. I'm so afraid it will get away from me.

That vine will cover a house I think. But I will cut it all back in late winter and it can start over. Unless it survives the cold. Wish Barb was around to tell us.

Yes, it will survive the winter, and get bigger, and spread by the roots in the winter, and get bigger, and spread by the roots, and get bigger. they scare me when they say that!!! I'm still fighting with Cats Claw that is like that 10 years later... :(

wow, so I don't have to paint the ugly block wall? I need to train this puppy but it's just too hot to garden other than the watering.

Get the small Morning glories you plant in baskets. Those are nice.

Locakelly--plumbagos love our heat but not our sun. If you find a part shade for them, they will keep blooming.
Marie-those rainlilies are called 'gigantic lilies' and I got them in a trade. Smiling
