Mine have never gotten bushy like y'alls. But like I said these are still babies.
Believe it or not, when these were given to me, just this past MAY, they were little tiny things in tiny little growers pots - they were probably 6" high!
I'm not kidding.
Tiffany, when they started growing the leaves were indeed identical to the plant in the front of your pic - deep purple centers with green edges.
I will take a pic tomorrow of the leaves themselves. My original purpose was to ask if I can cut them down. When it gets windy, they sway pretty easily, so the stalk doesn't seem to be too strong yet, and I'm afraid it's affecting the integrity (strength) of the main plant. Of course, I could be way off, what do I know!
